There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies.

I am saddened by the prevalence of powerful men disrespecting and objectifying women - and getting away with it for years.

No one has the right to harass anyone. I fully support the #MeToo movement.

Look, guys, no matter what a girl does, no matter how she's dressed, no matter how much she's had to drink, it's never, never, never, never, never OK to touch her without her consent. This doesn't make you a man. It makes you a coward.

Feminism is built on believing women's accounts of sexual use and abuse by men.

Violence against women is as American as apple pie.

Unless men are active allies, we'll never end violence against women and girls.

The West has a better understanding of what the word sexual abuse or harassment means. There are some concepts that they understand way better.

Walking in the street, particularly in a city like New York, every single day, I am reminded of how objectified women can be. Being catcalled every day, multiple times a day, all the time... it just constantly happens.

Men are rapists, batterers, plunderers, killers; these same men are religious prophets, poets, heroes, figures of romance, adventure, accomplishment, figures ennobled by tragedy and defeat. Men have claimed the earth, called it 'Her'. Men ruin Her. Men have airplanes, guns, bombs, poisonous gases, weapons so perverse and deadly that they defy any authentically human imagination.

People always blame the girl; she should have said no. A monosyllable, but conventional wisdom has always been that boys can't manage it.

Violence against women is real and something I feel passionately about, and the gateway to all that is wolf whistling. It's allowing a man to impose his will on a woman who is just trying to walk down the street and live her life. It's all about unwanted versus wanted attention, and, of course, there's a fine line.
