“I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.”
“I watch 'Mad Men,' I knit scarves, I cook and am very, very normal. Honestly.”
“Charity is a fine thing if it's meeting a gap where needs must be met and there are no other resources. But in the long term we need to support people into helping themselves.”
“I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.”
