I didn’t hear words that were accurate, much less prideful. For example, I never once heard the word clitoris.

We're making this as entertainment. But God willing, if this show stays on and people see a woman in that office for a while, I think it will help people become more used to it. It's certainly about time that we had a few female presidents. ↗
