Anyone’s equal, no-one’s superior

May 14, 2013

Shami Chakrabarti was excellent on today's Woman's Hour. I liked much of what she said in her interview with Jane Garvey: including her honesty about the benefit of bumbling around- she had a couple of years after university working out what direction her life should take.

However, particularly I loved her motto 'I am anyone's equal, but no-one's superior'.

When Jane Garvey summed up the interview and segwayed into the next item, she picked up on this phrase.

 

I think the phrase is how I feel about myself: or at least I try to be anyone's equal…self doubt is a worry I was born, and will die with.

PS for any of my business partners wondering 'why was Allan listening to Radio 4 in the mid morning?' I was travelling between client meetings; and to anyone wondering 'why was Allan listening to Woman's Hour', the answer is 'because it was on, and because I like it'. Are men allowed to listen to Woman's Hour, and are we allowed to like it?
