“It's not just an empty word. Equality is not an empty word. It changes the dynamic, it changes the flavor. Even in peace processes, do you remember the first two female Nobel laureates around a peace accord was in Northern Ireland? It was two women who ages ago in the 70s, way before there was a peace process. But women also pushed that process. If you look between Israel and Palestine right now, the Israelis have a very strong female contingent of peace warriors, if you like, who have their like-minded sisters on the Palestinian side. It's not got anywhere yet, but they are there pushing this agenda. If you look at Liberia, years and years of warlordism and dictatorship and dreadful stuff, it was the wonderful Lema Bowie about whom, pray the devil back to hell. Has anybody seen that movie? It's fantastic go and see it. They did the Greek mythological.”

“No, no, this is not just about don't rape us. This is about everyday sexism. No, seriously. This is also about everyday sexism, which has also been written about, but that's the bar that many people, including myself, have had to deal with.”

“Over egging of the pie. Maybe some people get caught up, but for a long time this reckoning has been coming. And this has to be addressed, has to be addressed. Let me read you what Skepta says. He's a young man, right? He's like in his 20s. He basically said, you know, so is there pressure on a man to live up to a certain archetype of masculinity was the question. And he says, I watch the National Geographic Channel a lot. Even without the volume on, I just love watching animals because we are animals. Sex is an urge. We want to have sex. But now people are just going to have to respect sex. That's pretty intense. That's very profound.”

“Is Naomi Campbell and a grime artist called Skeptor? And I've got it because I wanted to read why they were on the front. Don't tell me I've lost the page. Anyway, I've lost the page. But I tell you why I picked it up. I picked it up and read it throughout the flight to Austin. And I was so impressed by the articles by the editor-in-chief's article, by Skepta and Naomi's interview, by all the guys who were writing articles for guys in this magazine because they were sympathetic. They weren't whining and crying about a backlash and snowflakes and I don't know what else. They went, yeah, yes, ladies, yes, girls. This is your moment and this is the right time.”

“And then sitting in the audience, and then a few weeks later this happened. But the thing is, as I say, we cannot do this without the support of our male relatives, our male bosses, our male friends, our colleagues, whoever it might be, this is not women against men, men against women. This has to be the beginning of a real joining at the hip to win this struggle once and for all. And nobody needs to point out that the more women in the more equality, the more parity, the healthier every aspect of society is, from the GDP of a nation, even like the United States, to your state, your city, your community, your workplace, your home. It makes a difference. And I tell you, I mean, you might wonder why I've got this on my list. Yes, I did. So this is GQ, the British version, and on the cover is...”

“I thought many different things at different times. You know, I was shocked but not shocked, but I was shocked by the extent of it. I myself have not had that level of sexism and misogyny and harassment and abuse by no means. I was horrified. I mean, look, a few weeks before it happened at CBS and PBS, I was giving a speech at the Committee to Protect Journalism. I was hosting that evening. Merrill was there. She was our keynote speaker. Merrill Streve, and it was great on behalf of freedom of the press. And I looked out, and obviously the Harvey Weinstein thing was in full flow. And I looked out and I said to the men in the audience, I said, we are your sisters. We are your friends. We are your colleagues. We are human beings. You have to help us. You can't keep hurting us like,”

That seems to be the thing that's being talked about now.”

“You go to do it and have children, right? Got it. So they go from nothing. To being expected to be, you know, machines in bed, right? So at the same time, they've been told they have to value this thing that they have, which is their virginity. So these women, many of them, are going to their marriages needing this therapy before they go because they don't even want to lose their virginity to their husbands. They have been told it is so valuable.”

“Explain that. So here, why is this important It's important because at the same time, and this is why women all over the world are so, I mean, just hit by every bit of culture and the patriarchy. Virginity is a must wherever you go. It's a must, particularly in the Muslim world. So that even though they are losing their virginity, dating, doing all this kind of stuff before marriage, they have to be virgins at the wedding night. So there is a thriving business in hymenoplasty, in other words, sewing up so that you can appear to be a virgin on your wedding night. You know, they have been told, it's been drummed into them, whether it's in India or Beirut or whatever, that don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't you mustn't go out and sleep with your boy? And then on your”

“In Shanghai, it's only just starting to the point that many women, young women, millennial women, The concept of dating doesn't even exist because for millennia in China, it's been arranged marriages. So, you know, you marry who your parents tell you to marry. And family is it. And family rules the roost. And the idea of dating and trying to make your own decisions is very novel at the same time. China has, or rather Shanghai has, the highest concentration in the world of female billionaires and millionaires, right? So they're massively empowered.”

“Okay. Yeah, and they're doing things that you and I would take for granted. They're not staying at work until 11 p.m. They're coming home and maybe 9 p.m. or 8 p.m. or 7 to have a Dinner with their wives and to actually talk, go play golf when they have some disposable non work time, you know, finding some hobbies. It sounds ordinary, but in that society it's completely extraordinary. So that was really fun and interesting.”

“Yeah, when I ask if she's happy and no, she's not, and is she happily married? No, she hasn't had sex with her husband in 10 years. And, you know, just this thing. And then, you know, she's found herself somebody and she's happier but can't really talk about it because that's not done. And then to find that younger women are trying to bust out that. Yes, absolutely. And then also to find that there's a small group of people, men and women, who want to change this and have created, what was it, the adoring husband society. Right. But they actually yell, I love you. And they actually make a big deal. It's performance art. So, you know, hopefully life will follow art.”

“I would say the most surprising was the generational difference because you expect, I mean, I didn't know this, but I went there finding out what maybe a lot of people know, that Japan, for instance. Is very, very sad when it comes to sexuality. I mean, there's sexless marriages, there's women who, once they've had their children, move out of the marital chamber, out of the bed and go to be in the same bedroom as their kids. So their husband, who's the office man, that classic title of male workers, hey, man, turn off your phone. I'm sorry. Just kidding. So that was weird. That was really, really weird to see that, to talk to some of these women who honestly there's a bar scene when I talk to about four or five women. And one of them almost has tears in her eyes.”

“So, yeah, so it was unbeknownst to me without an agenda of that type, it was unfolding before my eyes. And there are many, many interesting things. I mean, the Duenne of the tech world. Who knew that in the Muslim world where women, as I said, are barely able to join the workforce, in the last decade, another 55 million women have joined the workforce. That's 155 million women. And guess what? Their powering it? A lot of these entrepreneurs in their hedgehogs, not the men with the hoodies and this and that who we see here in the West, but women in their headscarves are pioneering a whole entrepreneurial tech.”

“Okay, so in India, who knew, but there's also a flourishing kinky sector as well, where there is BDSM. Obviously, it's not the majority of Indians. But a small group in New Delhi do it. But why was it so interesting first for the visuals because of the stories people told me as I was on stage? In any event, they were very interesting stories. But most importantly, they wanted to be absolutely clear that this is all about consent. There's the safe word. Trust me. But of course, that's massively important too, because a month after I did that shooting, yeah, well, not physical shooting, but the shooting came the Harvey Weinstein stuff, which was all about non-consent.”

“Yeah, they're real life. Yeah, but which is also extreme in many, many cases. And what I found... Way before the Me Too movement exploded because I was shooting this month before that started was that yes, there are many parts of the world where it's very dangerous, very ugly to be a woman. But even in those parts of the world, younger women, women of the generation of many of you in this room, whether it's in India, whether it's in China or Japan or elsewhere, are taking their own rights. And you want to know literally in a society that considers women less than human or second or third or fourth class citizens where women are slaves, where women literally don't have the right to say boo to a dog, how does a woman say to her husband, you know, that's sex, I want to be satisfied too.”

“Sane or try to and alive during those kind of situations. But as I was listening to this radio thing, I said to myself, you know, what about women and girls? What about how you live, how you maintain your dignity, how you maintain your intimate relations? How do you keep your partnership going? How does a mother keep her daughter safe and not off to some forced marriage? Do they talk about sex between mothers and girls in villages in Afghanistan or wherever it might be? So all these thoughts kept coming. And how do you do all that in a flimsy tent where everybody and their brother can listen to you and see you and know what your business is?”
