I quickly learned, however, that a university education is not a prerequisite to reading Shakespeare. After all, his original audience was not college-educated. Neither was he.

In the 21st Century, I'd like to think women have the right to live lives free of both sexual violence and daily harassment, as well as any other form of inequality.

We have to name a problem to solve a problem.

The idea that men 'lose control' around a woman in a short skirt is insulting to men, completely relieves perpetrators of responsibility, and erases and ignores male victims.

In order to achieve that end goal of equality it is a very gendered oppression primarily affecting women that needs to be tackled.

A compliment makes someone feel good about themselves. A catcall is harassment.

While not all men are sexist, all women face the impact of sexism in some way, so the point is there's a massive problem to be solved, and you can be a big part of the solution.

Feminism doesn't mean hating pink, make-up and high heels!

If your compliments are making women feel uncomfortable, scared, anxious, annoyed or harassed, you're probably not doing them right.

Protesting against sexism doesn't mean saying that all men are actively sexist.

We can't create a shift in normalised attitudes and behaviours without everybody on board, so not being sexist isn't enough - get stuck in and start tackling sexism too.

Leadership is the catalytic gift that energizes, directs, and empowers all the other gifts.

We make fun of those we're most scared of becoming.

The Christian who does not feel that the Virgin Mary is his or her mother is an orphan.

A nation that kills its own children has no future.

When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.

It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell; it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.
