People want to believe gender is something
that's essential, and people repeat these
essentialist ideas all the time. "Oh, women
do that" and "Oh, men do that" and the
reality is that all women don't anything. We
as individuals do what we do, you know, and
sometimes that's informed by gender and
sometimes it's just who we are. And I think
all that just makes people really, really
uncomfortable because they don't want to
think about who they are.
