I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.

Clever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.

Those 62 million girls who are not being educated around the world impact my life in Washington, D.C., in the United States of America.

I don’t want people saying, ‚Should we get a female director?‘ I want to hear, ‚Should we get a great director for this movie?‘

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

I started really noticing, more and more, how men will plagiarize and take credit for women’s work… I’ve noticed that it just happens a lot.

Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later; for another thing, they die earlier.

A gender line… helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

The stronger the participation of the female characters, the better the movie. They knew that in the old days, when women stars were equally as important as men.

If you want to occupy the C-suite or the top one-tenth of 1% in any organization, you have to be obsessively devoted to your career at the expense of everything else. And women look at that, and they think, ‚No.‘

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.‘

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

I’ve never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me.

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

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.

I 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.

I’m so not macho. It’s crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.

Men weren’t always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.
