women with brains and mouths

When men speak their minds all they have to be concerned about is their thoughts and presentation.

When women speak their minds, they also are often aware of their gender and must push through discrimination.

This is why when a woman’s thoughts land they often have twice the impact, because the thought has had to travel twice as far and through sometimes overwhelming opposition.

I am proud to know and be friends with some incredibly intelligent and outspoken women.

I have no doubt that if I were a woman doing what I do and saying what I say, I’d be called a bitch.
