I don't think sexism is worse than racism, it's impossible even to compare ... It's that I feel lonely in my fight against sexism, in a way that I don't feel in my fight against racism. My friends, my family, they get racism, they get it. The people I'm close to who are not black get it. But I find that with sexism you are constantly having to explain, justify, convince, make a case for. (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)
