Kathleen Hanna Quotes About Sexism

Quotes about: Sexism

That's important to me, but occasionally there's the thing where people basically ask me to write book reports for them, and I don't have that kind of time.

I can't even go into the whole spectrum of it. But I feel like kids today are so much more savvy about that conversation. And I'm so thrilled when I get to meet younger people who are doing that so much better than I did.
