Stephen Colbert On Why He Thinks Women Should Run the World

1 minute read

Stephen Colbert is a feminist, and proudly proclaims it in a new op-ed.

Writing for Glamour magazine, Colbert talks about why he thinks women should run everything: “Sometimes I wonder whether the world would be a better place if women were in charge,” he writes. “It would be pretty easy to make that happen.

He goes on to talk about how he’s deeply in touch with his femininity, he falls on the gender spectrum between Channing Tatum and Winnie the Pooh, and he once played a woman in a high school play.
