Well, I think women, we are more compassionate. We believe in sharing. We believe in cooperation and not competition. We are definitely against wars because we do not want to see our husbands, brothers, our children killed. We don't want to see our children killed. We don't want to see other people's children get killed.

And so this is why we have to do whatever we can to get more feminists elected. And when we say the word feminist, we include men, of course, that share the same values. And, you know, we want to end all of the discrimination that we've mentioned before. We can have a peaceful world. We have, you know, our world has so many resources.

And if we just shared the resources, and then we could think again of sharing and not competition. But I think it is going to take women taking power to make all of this happen.

Well, I think men always want to—I shouldn't say always. No, not always. I know. Not always. But men, they like to take over. They like to be in charge, you know. And it's kind of difficult for them to defer to women in leadership often. I think I've been fortunate in my life because I did work with Fred Ross Sr., who I believe was the first feminist man that I ever met in my life.

With Cesar, I was able to challenge him when it came to the issues of having women in power. And he would listen to my arguments because Often I was correct and he wasn't. So, you know, but I think it's so important that we have women, but often also to make women understand that they can use their power, that they have power, that they don't have to defer to others.

They have to believe in themselves.

Well, it took two great feminist leaders, Gloria Steinem and Eleanor Smil of the Feminist Majority Foundation. to get me to that position, number one, to understand that just because you're a Catholic doesn't mean that you have to follow what the Catholic Church says. I mean, the Catholic Church at one point in time said that the world was flat and it was not round.

Many people were executed because they didn't go along with that. So it took courage to challenge the religion that you have been grown up in. And then, of course, working with Gloria Steinem, Gloria got me to the position of choice. Working with Ellie Smale, the president of the Feminist Majority Foundation. No, no, it's not even about choice.

It's about women's reproductive rights to have an abortion. And so, and this is what we do with so many women. And you know, when I speak to Latino audiences and many Latino women who are in the mindset that I was, I tell him about the great president of Mexico, Benito Juarez. And he had a saying that said, In English, respecting other people's rights is peace.

How many children you want to have or not have, that is your business. Mm-hmm. And the same thing, who you fall in love with, who you marry, if it happens to be somebody of your own sex, that is your business and nobody else's. And this is what we have. And we know that women's reproductive rights are absolutely crucial for their lives. And once women like myself understand that.

It changes your whole outlook on the world, your whole outlook on your own self and on your own power.
