Harvey Silvergate, co-founder of FIRE:
The sexual drive is the second most powerful human instinct. The urge to tell our fellow humans to “shut up” is first. As long as men and women hold positions of power, they will abuse that power. So the problems we face are eternal, which means we must always have a watchdog to keep that power in check. Thank goodness we have that in FIRE.
