I think on-stage nudity is disgusting shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body it would be artistic tasteful patriotic and a progressive religious experience.

Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.

History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times but out of trial and confusion.

There are a lot of things that fit on a bumper sticker in terms of either liberty or equality or progress that when made more concrete just don't pan out.

When I look at my daughter who's 24 she is much more confident than I ever was and her expectations are higher. But I worry that there is a backlash brewing against progress on equality.

U.N. Women was created due to the acknowledgement that gender equality and women's empowerment was still despite progress far from what it should be. Transforming political will and decisions such as the Member States creating U.N. Women into concrete steps towards gender equality and women's empowerment I think is one of the main challenges.

I believe that as women we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.

I am fiscally prudent and socially progressive. I believe in protecting a woman's right to choose. I believe in marriage equality.

The extension of women's rights is the basic principle of all social progress.

We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.
