“The fact is, there is not now, nor has there ever been in the whole of...” — Sandi Toksvig Quote

The fact is, there is not now, nor has there ever been in the whole of history, a single country in the world where women have equality with men.

It was actually having a son made me think about feminism.

The truth is I don't really like the world of plastic money: the great chip-and-pin double act of modern payment. I prefer cash. I don't like the idea of some distant clerk nodding each time I make a card purchase and quietly adding to my 'consumer profile.' I'm anti all cards.

For three months, when I was 23 years old, I worked as a clerk at Wandsworth Sewer.

There was a really long period of time when, if the newspapers ever referred to me, even if I was talking about, I don't know, cake making, they would put 'lesbian Sandi Toksvig.'

My goal is to show girls that I'm fighting so they don't have to, so they don't have to fight the same battles, so they don't have to fight for wage equality or whatever it may be.

We are also further than ever from equality of opportunity.

I believe in free education, free healthcare. But I do not believe in equality.

America, 5 years after this brutal attack, is testament that a Nation conceived in liberty and equality will endure. It is a triumph of millions of Americans but it is also the triumph of an idea larger than any one person, larger than any one nation.

I'm proud to be a feminist because making sure that everyone understands we all have a role in fighting for equality is the only way to move forward.
