It's not so much about "me against the world," it's, how do you make the best possible future for your kids to grow up in?

I divide people into assholes and non-assholes, and that's genderless. I encounter sexism everyday.

The reports that Media Matters have done about sexism in our society and really the mainstream media called Hillary Clinton "castrating," they called her the B word, they called her all kinds of horrible things.

Women are so often segregated to their sexuality, and how they appear. In fact, there's a lot of talk, even now, I think in most jobs this is true... people will say, when a woman rises to power, they ask, 'who did she sleep with?'
