I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
Vivienne WestwoodMen have to do some awfully mean things to keep up their respectability.
George Bernard ShawThere are other measures of self-respect for a man, than the number of clean shirts he puts on every day.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhen a father puts in long hours at work, he’s praised for being dedicated and ambitious. But when a mother stays late at the office, she’s sometimes accused of being selfish, neglecting her kids.
Michelle ObamaNo one wants to see curvy women.
Karl LagerfeldWhen I look back over my life it’s almost as if there was a plan laid out for me – from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn’t afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.
Jane GoodallA strong man doesn’t have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn’t match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world.
Marilyn MonroeThroughout my life, I’ve always been really close with girls and made friends with girls. And I’ve always been a really sickly, feminine person anyhow, so I thought I was gay for a while because I didn’t find any of the girls in my high school attractive at all.
Kurt CobainAs far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.
Maya AngelouI have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard.
Madeleine AlbrightIf you’re embarrassed because you have some notion about how men are supposed to behave, and it doesn’t include weeping, then you have some personal work to do.
Ray BradburyVery learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors.
Voltaire‚Tis strange what a man may do, and a woman yet think him an angel.
William Makepeace ThackerayPart of the core information that I’ve been purveying is that identity politics is a sick game. You don’t play racial, ethnic, and gender identity games. The Left plays them on behalf of the oppressed, let’s say, and the Right tends to play them on behalf of nationalism and ethnic pride. I think they’re equally dangerous.
Jordan PetersonIn the ’50s, too many women, even though they were very smart, they tried to make the man feel that he was brainier. It was a sad thing.
Ruth Bader GinsburgThe female loves to play man against man. And if she is in a position to do it, there is not one who will resist.
Charles BukowskiIn the duel of sex woman fights from a dreadnought and man from an open raft.
H. L. MenckenA woman of the world is anxious to exhibit her form and shape, whether walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping. Even when represented as a picture, she desires to captivate with the charms of her beauty and, thus, to rob men of their steadfast heart.
BuddhaThere is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.
C. S. LewisLife is not living in the suburbs with a white picket fence. That’s not life. Somehow our American culture has made it out that that’s what life needs to be – and that if it’s not that, it’s all screwed up. It’s not.
Tom BradyWhat’s with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?
Erma BombeckIn the public eye, girls and women with strong perspectives are hated. If you’re a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that’s so lame.
Billie EilishWhat, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.
Mark TwainGirls are soft and pretty.
Adam SandlerI notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters.
Galileo GalileiI always thought that there was nothing an antifeminist would want more than to have women only in women’s organizations, in their own little corner empathizing with each other and not touching a man’s world.
Ruth Bader GinsburgMy family didn’t have a lot of money, so I worked my heart out to get my degrees. But the minute I graduated, suddenly everyone was asking me, ‚Well, when are you going to get married and start having kids?‘ And the truth is I had no idea how I would balance the expected role of wife and mother with a challenging career.
Michelle ObamaHow can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar WildeTo kids, I’ve always been more than just some big tough black guy. I train to be tough – I box and do karate – but underneath all that toughness is a tender man.
Mr. TOnce made equal to man, woman becomes his superior.
SocratesI was brought up to believe that the worst thing you could do was ‚call attention to yourself,‘ or ‚think you were smart.‘ My mother was an exception to this rule and was punished by the early onset of Parkinson’s disease.
Alice MunroWe’re always looking over our shoulders, ‚what they will think, what the press will think, what will this one – am I making the right career move?‘ When you’re young you have to do all that to survive, I suppose.
Anthony HopkinsLet men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.
Marcus AureliusI think it speaks of all women having those few special things that make them feel feminine. And so when I was a little girl, I would associate Guerlain with that.
Angelina JolieI do have a vulnerable side. I think a lot of people have a misperception of me. They only see the tough, defensive, aggressive side. But every woman is vulnerable.
RihannaFame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.
Baruch SpinozaWhen people say ‚marriage‘ to me… It’s always a means to an end. Everyone’s so in a rush to define the relationship.
Lady GagaClever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.
George Bernard ShawI seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It’s like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I’d like to play strong women who are also very feminine.
Angelina JolieI really don’t like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they’re horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They’d better sort themselves out and become more womanly.
Vivienne WestwoodWhy do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.
Henny YoungmanThere is no employing class, no working class, no farming class. You may pigeonhole a man or woman as a farmer or a worker or a professional man or an employer or even a banker. But the son of the farmer will be a doctor or a worker or even a banker, and his daughter a teacher. The son of a worker will be an employer – or maybe president.
Herbert HooverI’m so not macho. It’s crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.
Dave GrohlTo the women and children, T stands for tender. To the bad guys and thugs, it stands for tough.
Mr. TWoman’s at best a contradiction still.
Alexander PopeMen walk this tightrope where any sign of weakness illicits shame, and so they’re afraid to make themselves vulnerable for fear of looking weak.
Brene BrownI make decisions all day, so it’s nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, ‚Let me order.‘ Other women would be offended by that, but I’m like, ‚Good. Because I can’t make one more decision today.‘ I want someone to rub my feet without being asked.
Abby Lee MillerI think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear… I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, ‚My wife told me to wear this!‘ And I just shake my head.
Tom BradyWhat is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What’s the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
BuddhaMan does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.
Groucho MarxThe army teaches boys to think like men.
Elvis PresleyA man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.
Marilyn Monroe‚I’ll be back‘ always sounded a little girly to me.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerPeople make jokes about my bosoms, why don’t they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It’s obvious I’ve got big ones and if people want to assume they’re not mine, then let them.
Dolly PartonThe male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.
Charles BukowskiIt’s a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I’d be a drag queen.
Dolly PartonI’m not denyin‘ the women are foolish. God Almighty made ‚em to match the men.
George EliotI was a very shy character, always feeling uncomfortable because everybody was stronger than I, and always afraid I would look like a sissy. Everybody else played baseball; everybody else did all kinds of athletic things.
Richard P. FeynmanI think women go crazy for a reason. It’s not like it just happens.
Kevin HartWe are justified in enforcing good morals, for they belong to all mankind; but we are not justified in enforcing good manners, for good manners always mean our own manners.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
