I’ve been at so many tables with so many folks who are imposters. But shame on us if we sit by and let an imposter talk us down.
Strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful.
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
I wanted to take part in this campaign because it’s so easy to forget the many women who live their lives in fear because of domestic violence. Men have an important role to play in sending out the message that real men do not hurt or abuse their partners.
It is very important that women of this country be made aware of the dangers of osteoporosis in the sense that it is a silent and invisible disease with no symptoms whatsoever.
If we are going to see real development in the world then our best investment is women.
I view myself as being the average woman.
If we want our daughters to dream bigger than we did we still have work to do.

No woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor.
I have a little sister and I’m constantly annoyed [by] how terribly written most females are in most everything – and especially in comedy. Their anatomy seems to be the only defining aspect of their character, and I just find that untruthful and it straight up offends me.
It’s about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up. Even if people would like you to.
Have you watched Snow White lately? I get real funky about the classics; I don’t like (my sons) watching it. It’s totally sexist, misogynistic – she’s cleaning for seven dwarfs. There’s nothing wrong with a woman who chooses to stay at home with her family, it’s a hard-ass job, but it’s the way it’s spoken about.
No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half its citizens.
I actually trust the women I know. I trust them with their choices, I trust them with their bodies and I trust them with their children. I trust that they are decent enough and wise enough and worthy enough to carry the right of abortion.
So early in our lives we are shushed. And not just directly shushed but sometimes in our lives we’re treated too preciously. We may have a father that loves us and treats us like a doll. They don’t treat us like real beings and equal partners.
