I feel that the people I see in the media are sometimes more real than I am, which is utter bullshit.

Even when educators survey grade school texts and create new bibliographies to help teachers include Asians, Eskimos, and other Americans, females in and out of those groups may be down-played or forgotten.

The idea that women don't smell fine on our own is a problem.

... if you're a woman, all they can think about your relationship with a politician is that you're either sleeping with him or advising him about clothes.

I think of the future in two ways - survival plus moving forward. Under survival, I would put all the efforts to save the female half of the world from violence directed at us specifically because we are female.

Male silence is not the same as listening

The premise of most media is that only conflict is newsworthy. And that's just not true. I think for a lot of men, too - certainly for most women - there's enough real conflict without manufacturing it. The media formula is always to have a pro and con, to say there are two sides to any issue, when in fact there may be ten sides.
