He must have been mad, because when things happen to women, we are supposed to remain silent. Our shame should make us want to act like nothing happened, maintain the decorum. I refuse to be silent, therefore I become some sort of criminal.
I think if we told our stories and said out loud what has happened to us, to warn other women, to comfort those who have had the same things happen to them, to show that we are not alone, the world would suddenly become a bigger and better place.

Additional quotes by Margaret Cho

And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.

There's this creepy connection between leather sex, Star Trek, and the Renaissance Fair.
