"It isn't just greed that's good. Mean is good too. Being mean makes us feel alive. It's fun and exciting. Sometimes, it keeps us alive. W. H. Auden wrote that evil is unspectacular. I totally disagreee. Evil is dazzling. If it's done right, mean can be dazzling too...Being mean to boys is fun and a second-wave feminist duty. Being rude to men who deserve it is a holy mission. Sisterhood is powerful, but being a bitch is more exhilarating. Being a bitch is spectacular."
--"Mean," by Myriam Gurba, pg. 17
