Change starts at the bottom. I think we’re disempowered by the idea that it starts at the top, when really change is like a tree. It does start at the bottom Picture Quote #1

Anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn’t, that’s judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses Picture Quote #1

There is bias and sexism everywhere, just like there are problems of racism and homophobia stemming from the whole notion that we’re arranged in a hierarchy, that we’re ranked rather than linked Picture Quote #1

Women get hit with a double whammy. If they’re attractive, they’re presumed to have slept their way to the top. If they’re unattractive, they are presumed to have chosen a profession because they could not get a man Picture Quote #1

Women tend to be conservative in youth and get more radical as they get older because they lose power with age. So, if a young woman is not a feminist, I say, just wait Picture Quote #1

Humor is the only free emotion. I mean, you can compel fear, as we know. You can compel love, actually... But you can’t compel laughter. It happens when two things come together and make a third unexpectedly Picture Quote #1

The problem is, for men and women, the idea that sexuality is about dominance and submission, when, in fact, cooperation is a lot more fun, to put it my way. So some of it, a lot of it, is just about empathy Picture Quote #1

When men realize that feminism is a universal good that affects them in very intimate ways then I think they really become allies and leaders Picture Quote #1

I have always employed humor, and I think it’s absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion Picture Quote #1
