Being nice Quote by Sheryl Sandberg

“I'm excited that more people, especially men, are understanding that equality is good for them. I don't want men to want equality for women because they're being nice to their colleagues and daughters. I want men to want it because it's better for their companies and their lives.” quote by Sheryl Sandberg
