6- ” You can hate me for being a woman, you can hate me for being smart, you can hate me for being funny, but you hate me because I am doing something you could never do. End of story.”
7- ” I think we’re very quick to rip other women apart when they don’t fit our mould, which, quite frankly, is just as bad as a man tearing you down for something, if not worse.”
