I Would Say How Important It Is That We Stop Teaching Kids, From The Beginning, That Boys Are More Important Than Girls. It's The 21st Century, You Know, Let's Go Here. We Have To Show Kids That Boys And Girls Share The Sandbox Equally And Do Equally Interesting Things. We're Teaching Kids Something That We Have To Try To Get Rid Of Later On. Why Not Just Stop Filling Them With Unconscious Gender Bias?

All I Wanted, To Be Petite And Attractive. I Was Afraid I'd Never Stop Growing.

I Was All Limbs And I Was Very Convinced That I Must Be Uncoordinated, So I Didn't Want To Try Any Sports. And The Girls' Basketball Team Was Constantly Like, "please, Please Just Come Play."

I Realized That In All The Sectors Of Society Where There's A Huge Gender Disparity, The One Place That Can Be Fixed Overnight Is Onscreen. You Think About Getting Half Of Congress, Or The Presidency ... It's Going To Take A While No Matter How Hard We Work On It.
