Feminists wish women to seem like men. They’re not men.

To terrify children with the image of hell… to consider women an inferior creation. Is that good for the world?

And when a woman’s will is as strong as the man’s who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.

We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.

It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.

Man can never be a woman’s equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

Men have to do some awfully mean things to keep up their respectability.

I remember at the age of five travelling on a trolley car with my mother past a group of women on a picket line at a textile plant, seeing them being viciously beaten by security people. So that kind of thing stayed with me.

If every man loves his mother, he’s going to treat the ladies right, with love and respect.

People 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.

Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

I’m trying to show everybody that I’m a girl, and I’m five foot four, and you can do anything you want, no matter your gender. It’s your world, too!

In Germany, they all thought I was a bit mental, very emotional.

Every country is like a particular type of person. America is like a belligerent, adolescent boy; Canada is like an intelligent, 35-year-old woman. Australia is like Jack Nicholson. It comes right up to you and laughs very hard in your face in a highly threatening and engaging manner.

The French are so into themselves that they don’t even notice you.

I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

I 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.

If a woman possesses manly virtues one should run away from her; and if she does not possess them she runs away from herself.

A businessman is the only man who is forever apologizing for his occupation.

You could tell ‚The Handmaid’s Tale‘ from a male point of view. People have mistakenly felt that the women are oppressed, but power tends to organise itself in a pyramid. I could pick a male narrator from somewhere in that pyramid. It would interesting.

It is not women’s liberation, it is women’s and men’s liberation.

I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they’re looting, if you see a white family it says they’re looking for food.

There is a level of snobbery and fickleness in L.A.

Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.

Women are nothing but machines for producing children.

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong.

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

People tend to think that because I’m a performer and I don’t go to a regular high school that I haven’t personally been affected by bullies. But it’s actually quite the contrary.

I’ve never bought into any sort of hard and fast, this-box/that-box characterization. People are individuals. Yes, they may be expected to be a particular way. But that doesn’t mean they’re going to be that way.

I don’t know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things that women have is men.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

Woman’s at best a contradiction still.

I’m not denyin‘ the women are foolish. God Almighty made ‚em to match the men.

When I graduated from law school in 1959, there wasn’t a single woman on any federal bench. It wouldn’t be a realistic ambition for a woman to want to become a federal judge. It wasn’t realistic until Jimmy Carter became our president.

If women were particular about men’s characters, they would never get married at all.

I’m always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.

Why don’t Jews drink? It interferes with their suffering.

My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven’t exactly been non-aggressive – including me.

National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.

Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it’s liberating, and it’s empowering when you feel like, ‚Well, I can do that, too.‘

When it comes to gossip, I have to readily admit men are as guilty as women.

It’s an endless proving of myself, that I really am a musician, that I have something to offer in the room. That women can be musicians, women can be rock stars, women can be more than an objectified idea of a pop star.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.

The problem with Yanks is they are wimps.

So people are talking about revolution. What a revolution it would be to have a woman president.

I think a lot of people love to convolute what everyone else does in order to disempower women.

In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics.

But let me tell you, this gender thing is history. You’re looking at a guy who sat down with Margaret Thatcher across the table and talked about serious issues.

Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining his wives‘ mouths.

If I were a woman, I’d simply refuse to speak to any man or do anything for men until I’d got the vote.
