To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.

A man makes you feel important – makes you glad you are a woman.

No one will ever win the battle of the sexes; there’s too much fraternizing with the enemy.

I’m not particularly a feminist, but if you get women off the animal cycle of reproduction and give them some say in how many children they’ll have, immediately the floor will rise.

The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn’t any.

We do need women in civic life. We do need women to run for office, to be in political office. We need a feminist to be at the table when decisions are being made so that the right decisions will be made.

I think many people in my community had very different kinds of mothers: they had mothers who acquiesced in the system of male and white-supremacist domination, and my mother never did. She just could not do it. It just wasn’t in her.

We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.

The concern was that if a woman was doing gender equality, her chances of making it to tenure in the law school were diminished. It was considered frivolous.

Certainly a woman should never disguise the fact that she is a woman. A woman’s body is very beautiful.

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.

And frankly, I don’t understand – I mean, I’m obviously a card-carrying Democrat – but I can’t understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney.

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.

I love stories about women.

Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.

I can’t imagine what it is like to be raised in a society where their only statues that exist are to you and your father.

I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

The secular argument, or the liberal argument, is to as much as possible remove taboos so things do not become unmentionable; to let some air into the discussion.

What’s with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?

I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.

I definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be. Just watch a beer commercial and you’ll see what I mean.

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

I want to make a policy statement. I am unabashedly in favor of women.

I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God’s creation, woman, the object of our lust.

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money, because Africa was the ‚dark continent‘, and because I was a girl.

There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.

You can do without a woman but not a typewriter.

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.‘

May not the complaint, that common people are above their station, often take its rise in the fact of uncommon people being below theirs?

The proper study of mankind is woman.

When Hillary was First Lady, we went to the Beijing Women’s Conference. She courageously stood up and spoke out on behalf of human rights and women’s rights, inspiring millions to fight for a better future.

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.

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

What ‚multiculturalism‘ boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture – and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.

Come on, you can’t name a truck after a chick.

Nothing can be more absurd than the practice that prevails in our country of men and women not following the same pursuits with all their strengths and with one mind, for thus, the state instead of being whole is reduced to half.

I have to tell you, my seven-year-old granddaughter said to my daughter, her mother, ‚So what’s the big deal about Grandma Maddy having been Secretary of State? Only girls are Secretaries of State.‘ Most of her lifetime, it’s true. But at the time it really was a big deal.

Our modern society – especially in the West, and especially now – reveres youth.

I’m gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.

The biggest crime in England is to rise above your station. It’s fine to be a pop star. ‚Oh, it’s great, lots of fun, aren’t they sweet, these pop stars! But to think you have anything to say about how the world should work? What arrogance!‘

Black men don’t like to be called ‚boys,‘ but women accept being called ‚girls.‘

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.‘

Men’s vows are women’s traitors!

I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it.

Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little.

I 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.

Men and women aren’t the same. And they won’t be the same. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be treated fairly.

It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.

I felt like, for so many years – and I still even feel it – as a girl, you can’t really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud.

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.

I’m interested in women’s health because I’m a woman. I’d be a darn fool not to be on my own side.

I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.

Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.

I just think overall there’s not as many female ministers than there are male ministers.

Often people display a curious respect for a man drunk, rather like the respect of simple races for the insane… There is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember – there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.

I was a proponent of the ERA. The women of my generation and my daughter’s generation, they were very active in moving along the social change that would result in equal citizenship stature for men and women.

Personally I’m not a feminist, as I can’t stand puritans.

When 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.

All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.
