Women are different from men, not better or worse, just different. But I do understand the issue of pay inequality between men and women and that is frustrating to say the least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rashida-jones-on-being-a-woman#post-244771 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:25:44 +0000 chopsuey 244771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>eh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rashida-jones-on-being-a-woman#post-244759 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:22:52 +0000 mrbee 244759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This quote was thought provoking:</p> <p>"I think there’s just an inherent burden of being alive and being a woman. No man would ever admit that, but I think women know it, which is: You know more than men, you know more than most people you’re dealing with every day, and you know that’s it up to you to make things move forward, and you get paid half as much, but you just do it. But it works out, because if you can figure out how to harness that femininity — there’s something we have that’s so mysterious to men — that if you can figure out how to use that, you’re good to go."
