girl men equal-pay
Any insistence on equal pay is crucial and any redefinition of work to include caregiving work so that it also has an economic value, at least at replacement level, that's crucial. So change does come from the bottom up, and it will come from girls and women and men who understand that for us all to be human beings instead of being grouped by gender is good for them, too.
country thinking iceland
I don't think there's any country that has equal pay, not even Sweden or Iceland.
men reason gender
You can hardly open a newspaper without seeing that a woman has been killed by a man for clearly gender-related reasons.
men different demand
There's going to be a demand for perfectionism on the part of Hillary Clinton, or any other pro-equality woman candidate, that would not be made of men. There are going to be attacks based on different standards of morality and different standards of dress and physical attractiveness.
jobs white house
It would be a disaster to have Sarah Palin or Carly Fiorina in the White House, so it's not just a woman, but a woman who stands for the majority needs of women. It's not just getting a job for one woman, it's making life better for all women.
feels isolated ifs
If we're isolated, we come to feel powerless when we're not.
way married traditional-marriage
Looking at traditional marriages, it seems the surest way for a woman to be alone is to get married.
winning politics want
the new women in politics seem to be saying that we already know how to lose, thank you very much. Now we want to learn how to win.
sex pornography
it's possible to be pro-sex and anti-pornography.
firsts violence economics
I would say that reproductive freedom comes first, then violence and economics.
thinking looks way
If you can learn to like how you look, and not the way you think you look, it can set you free.
husband men feminist
women used to be elected only when their husbands died and they became widows. The men found this was too hard on them. That's why they've become feminists.
men chance
It's not that women are less corruptible than men are, it's that women have had less chance to become corrupt.
daughter son ideas
We need to raise our sons more like our daughters. We need to relieve them of this burden of the idea that to be masculine they have to be superior, which is what they get addicted to, and why both racism and sexism are crimes that I call superiority crimes.
