When they talk about The men ruined this, the men did that, it is a person, and their sex comes after what they’ve done. I believe that we say too much We the women and We the men, but should say We the human beings. There are really two types of human being -- the ones who care about environment, who want a more just society; and the other ones who care about greed and war. So it’s not a question of East and West, and American and Iranian, and women and men.
