I learned early on how to treat women by the examples that were set around me.

Often, the disparities in the ways men and women are treated are subtle; there are not these clear barriers that you have to break down.

A lot of the messed-up stuff that men inflict on women is kind of a symptom of the messed-up stuff that they should be dealing with themselves.

I grew up in a time when many people believed that men and women should not always be treated equally.

I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.

I've been used by women all my life, fortunately.

During my lifetime, I realized that discrimination was not accidental, that there were structural roots and causes to it. So if we wanted to change women's lives, we need to deal with those root causes.

Women's issues have always been a part of my life.

Well, I went through some emotionally abusive relationships and allowed myself to not be properly respected as a lady, as a human being even, though I tried everything I knew to be a lady.

What I've learned is you treat women right.
