01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Don't back down. You're gonna get bullied. Some guy is gonna see that you don't have a penis so he's gonna take advantage of it but guess what? You've got to grow a set bigger than his. Because the only thing a bully responds to is a bigger bully.
