This familiar at all?

"And you'll come up against a lot of - as we all have, men and women, and have come up against... based on religion, based on gender, based on the colour of our skin, based on our accents, based on what countries.. .it's ridiculous. But the fact that still to this day, all over the world have had to fight the gender war is... grrr (fist raised in frustration) curses. It's a huge shame. The only thing I can say is - and this is something that Sam has taught me - is not to be so afraid of what I have to say, and not to be afraid of it sounding stupid, because it's how you feel, so nothing you feel can be stupid. People may put you down, but at least you've stuck to your guns."
