what he said

You know what interferes with my writing? Good writers.

Because I read something like this, from Ryan O'Connell (requoted by Andrew Sullivan, as usual):

Here’s what it comes down to: Any victim of sexual assault is in no way responsible for the attack. “Oh, I apologize that my super cute dress from Zara caused you to force yourself on me. Next time I’ll wear a burka!” As fucking if. How does anyone expect women to advance as a gender if we subscribe to these rules?

and I think, Ditto. Why come up with my own screed when someone has already done it so well? (I'm thinking of you, Tracy -- ditto to everything you write...)
