“There's no question that I am biased toward the Hebrew calendar over the Gregorian one.”

“Britain beat us to the abolition of slavery; the Isle of Man, New Zealand, and Finland all decided to give women the vote well before the United States. Eventually, we got smart and borrowed these egalitarian innovations.”

“Mr. Trump had campaigned on attacking the weakest and most vulnerable in our society.”

“Our culture hasn't stopped objectifying women. We - men and women both - are just getting better at pretending it's not happening.”
