Power
“I would be happier if my daughter and her friends were crashing through the glass ceiling instead of the sexual ceiling….having “Sex & the City” on television, that is not liberation. If you start to think about women as if we’re all Carrie on Sex & the City, well, the problem is: You’re not going to elect Carrie to the Senate or to run your company. Let’s see the Senate 50% female; let’s see women in decision-making positions-THAT’S power. Sexual freedom can be a smokescreen for how far we HAVEN’T come.”
