Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.
I'm happy to say that I'm a lesbian in the world. I know there are people who don't want to be called women comedians, but I think it gives a path to the fact that we live in extremely patriarchal times.
I have such a strong belief in women's ability to sustain each other.
I sometimes get asked: 'How come the men in your stories don't have such strong characters?' And I'm like: 'I don't care.' I just want to find out about all the different lives a woman can live.
