Who says this quote?
I want to use a quote in an essay I’m writing, but I can’t remember the exact quote and didn’t catch the name of the speaker. I heard it on one of the comedy stations on iTunes, and the speaker was a woman. She said something like:
“because we are unsure of ourselves, we will hesitate to report a rape when we see it”
or something like that. Thanks.

The comedian, I believe is Margaret Cho, and the quote says:
“When you don’t have self-esteem, you will hesitate before you do anything in your life. You will hesitate to go for the job you really want to go for. You will hesitate to ask for a raise. You will hesitate to call yourself an American. You will hesitate to report a rape. You will hesitate to defend yourself when you are discriminated against because of your race, your sexuality, your size, your gender. You will hesitate to vote. You will hesitate to dream.
For us to have self-esteem is truly an act of revolution. And our revolution is long overdue.”
