The women who inspired this play deserved to be smacked across the head with a meat ax and that, I flatter myself, is exactly what I smacked them with.
I'll always prefer to play with women and hang out with women, and I'll always be a feminist.
If every woman who's had an abortion took tomorrow off in protest, America would grind to a halt. And that would be symbolic: because women grind to a halt if they are not in control of their fertility.
There are 3 billion women in the world, so there are 3 billion ways to be a feminist.
The thing is, one in three women in the Western world will end up having an abortion, but they never talk about it. When you keep silent about that stuff, it is because you are embarrassed by the societal distaste of the topic.
People get really scared when women reclaim words, talk about themselves honestly and also make jokes because it's a really unstoppable combination.
I can't live in a world where there are only, like, four kinds of women. Or where every woman is obsessed with cake. The very least I ask is that we have one female character in the world who likes savory things! I don't have any role models who like...
It used to be if you wanted something nice to wear, you would sew it yourself for your body type. Women before the 20th century didn't have this problem. Now, it seems we're all squeezed into random designs. They're designed for no one.
In the U.K., we have a paper called 'The Daily Mail,' which is quite misogynist. And every day, it just writes pieces about: 'Women, you're going to die now! Women, here's shoes that give you cancer! Women, just hate yourselves!'
Years ago women of my size were considered royalty.
Nobody else knew what to do with me because big women are old.
I was proud to be an original cosponsor of the Violence Against Women Act when Congress passed it in 1994, and was proud to support the previous renewals in 2000 and 2005. These bills always enjoyed large, bipartisan support.
We cannot ensure that women will be free of discrimination in the workplace and everywhere as long as women are not universally defended under our Constitution. As it stands now, the equal rights of women are subject to interpretation of law. That is...
I'd like to reach out to more women and different body types.
It's mainly a few elite women who benefit greatly from standing with the forces that keep women down.
I happen to have worked with male directors who don't understand women at all. Not at all. I'm flabbergasted by their ignorance.
We still have not been able to move into those positions in our country that are really directing traffic among that 1 percent, and that's where women have to break through.
There appears to be no limit as to how far the women's revolution will take us.
The women's rights movement of the 1970s had not yet emerged; except for Bella Abzug, I had no women supporters.
I don't mind demanding women.
I think women still want to be married. But I don't think they'll do anything to get married anymore.
