Iliza Shlesinger quotes

You can hate me for being a woman, you can hate me for being smart, you can hate me for being funny, but you hate me because I am doing something you could never do. End of story.

Most women have jobs that require them to leave the house. A cat is actually a perfect pet. You get the love and companionship of a creature covered in fur, and you don't have to take it for a walk, and it can feed itself. Less maintenance. Surely any man can appreciate the practicality of this choice.

There's a way to express femininity and independence and strength without going for hanging fruit.

Whether it be the gym or telling a guy to stop mistreating me or getting through school with a C+ average but making people think I'm much smarter... it's all about strength and how you wear it.

I think people have to understand that 'empowering' for women doesn't mean negating men.

I prefer social politics to politics.

There's no anger in my act towards anyone other than myself... and maybe airlines.
