I want these to be names that young girls and boys and kids of all genders grow up knowing. It shouldn't just be when you take a feminist class in college, if you happen to do that. I hope this is fun and engaging for folks to watch.
Anita Sarkeesian
One of the most radical things you can do, is to actually believe women when they tell you about their experiences.

For me, if folks who are watching YouTube can pitch in a bit to help cover the cost for creating this work, that's great, but I don't want folks who can't helped to not have access to it. I really like the crowdfunding model in that regard.
Anita Sarkeesian
I'm really thriving and enjoying being a part of a really vibrant creative team and doing creative work.
Anita Sarkeesian
I really wanted to explore a range of women who aren't necessarily perfect, heroic women. I wanted to series to influence creative people to include more women in their work, especially historic works.
Anita Sarkeesian
I wanted to make feminism more accessible. And I really wanted to engage with my own generation, one that is increasingly speaking in an audio/video multimedia language.
Anita Sarkeesian
The struggles of dealing with online harassment is the same harassment that women have been dealing with, it's just a new medium in which it's happening.
Anita Sarkeesian
