I just think that also controlling women is a way to control the whole narrative. And so I think when you've oppressed a people for a really long time, you're terrified to give them any power because they may have some reflection of how horrible you've been and you're terrified of being treated that way. All that we want is to be our best selves, but that's hard for them to understand.

Opportunities present themselves to me. That's how my whole life has been pretty much. I've been lucky.

Unless you can point to something that I have done or said that has changed the course of the public opinion in a negative way, you've got to check yourself sometimes and say, "Maybe I don't like the way that this thing is said, but it's expanding tolerance." If I said something that was shutting down something that was positive, call me out, but I don't really see me doing that.

The fact is, there's no such thing as "The Age of Abstinence."

This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.

Just talk about the issues that are impacting you and your friends.

The second you realize you're not alienated, that makes you empowered.
