I don't think there's any country that has equal pay, not even Sweden or Iceland.

We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.

The cleanup costs of polluting a river, injecting pesticides into the ground water, or putting noxious gases into the air have not been figured into the cost of the manufacturing or agribusiness that put them there in the first place. Historically, the economic incentive has been to pollute.

If men started taking care of children, the job will become more valuable.

I think that there is clearly an understanding that the women's market is an important market. It's still often perceived as separate when it's not.

Think about the pressure to "pass" by lying about one's agethat familiar temptation to falsify a condition of one's birth oridentity and pretend to be part of a more favored group. Fair-skinned blacks invented "passing" as a term, Jews escaping anti-Semitism perfected the art, and the sexual closet continues the punishment, but pretending to be a younger age is probably the most encouraged form of "passing," with the least organized support for "coming out" as one's true generational self.

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