Certain behaviors are repeated not because they’re good, but because they’re visible..

Naming a phenomenon is the first step toward understanding it.

People rarely lie consciously — they just narrate themselves favorably.

Racial stereotypes are not less harmful when they are positive.

When attraction is denied, it often resurfaces as ideology.

The need to rescue can be as self-serving as the need to dominate.

FETWEL behavior is most visible not in private desire, but in public performance.

Some activism is autobiography written in public.
