Meryl Streep to Barnard College's Class of 2010:
"Things are changing now, and it's in your generation we're seeing this. Men are adapting. About time! They are adapting consciously. They are changing their deepest prejudices to regard as normal the things that their fathers would have found very, very difficult and their grandfathers would have abhorred.
