I have found men to be more kind than I expected, and less just.

Some men think that if you're empowered and sure of yourself then you're a man-hater, but it's like, 'No, I'm just the same as you are, but maybe just a tiny bit more confident.'

I always try to bring a certain masculine presence to what I do. That is part of the dynamic.

Evolutionary psychology tells us that men, especially powerful men, feel invincible and entitled to spread their seed, and that women can't resist the scent of masculine power. Women, by contrast, are said to be more altruistic and collaborative, seeking power so that they can share it with others.

For many years, I picked the wrong men, or they picked me. I think if you don't feel attractive or worth something as a woman, you attract men who don't really look after you. That's what happened to me, but I realise that those relationships were like a journey, helping me to learn something about myself.

Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.

I encourage women to just feel good about who you are.

If I have any particular appeal to women, maybe it's because I listen more than other guys do and appreciate how they think and feel about things.

Men haven't changed their behaviour, so women somehow have to be strengthened to be able to ward off the men.
