I think that the main thing I’ve learnt over the years is to try to develop kind of an intelligence and a level of wit that outwits people so that if I am in the face of sexism, they are the ones exposed as being ignorant and quite frankly, quite stupid. So although I don’t use my fists I certainly would encourage other young girls to develop their intelligence so that they have an ability to stand up for themselves in not an aggressive way but in a way that gives them their dignity and their integrity and the respect that they deserve.
