There are many things that people do happily that I can't imagine why they would do it... But I have to say that even though I am critical or judgmental of society at large, I'm not critical of people individually. We are who we are.

I think the rules are going to have to change for me to ever run for public office. My checkered past will always keep me out of politics.

Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.

Martin Luther King Jr.
