“I was opening at TEDxEast salon in November and was introduced as someone who “has such an interesting boyfriend, you might forget to talk to her.” […] I do have a fascinating boyfriend, but that was completely irrelevant to the event, the topic, and my talk.” —Kristen Taylor

“I was at an event where an older guy (50s married with college kids) was saying stupid flirty things to a young woman entrepreneur about how pretty she was etc. I pulled him aside and said for him to cut that shit out. So not cool. He had no idea what I was talking about. I asked him if his son was pitching me would he want me telling him how hot he looked? He got it, sent me a gift and next day and thanked me. It is never too late to learn.” —Joanne Wilson
