Kathleen HannaIt's so important for people in political groups to learn the difference between productive criticism and not. When it's about something you can change, it's productive. But if it's just like "You are an evil person", you can't change that. There's no way around that.

Kathleen HannaI do have personal relationships with a lot of "fans," in quotations. I answer all my mail, I get emails from fans, and I try to answer them all.

I feel like there's a certain sexism involved, like because I'm a woman I'm supposed to constantly be like giving to everybody.
