I don't see things in terms of gender.

I think cheerleading is kind of dumb. I didn't admit to my daughter that I was a cheerleader until she was past the age when I thought she might want to do it.

I started my career at the Wall Street Journal, before moving on to CNBC and NBC.

Early in my career, I was subjected to harassment in the form of some unwelcome suggestive comments and overtures.

I had just turned 28 and sold my first book, a travel guide for vegetarians, but I'd tell people about the day job that I didn't care about instead - I placed banner advertisements on the web for a search engine company.

I intend to travel to Okinawa and to visit with Okinawa officials and the citizens of Okinawa at an early date. I will send my best analysis of that situation, including the local attitudes, back to Washington, to the government there.

Just to travel is rather boring, but to travel with a purpose is educational and exciting.

It gets a little tough when you're cutting weight to travel all over the place, when you want to focus on really getting yourself ready to peak for your fight.
