The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotion

The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotional manipulation which the male is free to exploit, since love is the only circumstance in which the female is (ideologically) pardoned for sexual activity.
Kate Millett
A state that houses the NCAA headquarters. Quite frankly, if Indiana doesn’t say that they’re going to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, the NCAA needs to move out of Indiana.
Dannel Malloy
It’s important that we start conversations about changing the culture of sexual harassment and discrimination in politics, state capitols, and our larger communities with an acknowledgment of the courage of so many women who have chosen to speak up and speak out.
J. B. Pritzker
Sexual self-restraint is only a preliminary stage in the ego’s evolution.

Robert Crumb
I remember on the ‘Midnight Special’ seeing a video with Meat Loaf. I think it was the ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ video. It was like this raging huge fat guy, and he’s really sexual, and he’s really sweaty, and it’s really kind of sexy. Like, a fat guy can get the chick. I still am a big fan of ‘Bat Out Of Hell.’
W. Earl Brown
I’ve done sexual stuff before – onstage, which is even more emotionally difficult. With a TV crew around, you are stopping and starting; it becomes really technical. It’s not erotic at all.
Randy Harrison
Anything else that is not sexual assault or sexual harassment – those will be typically subject to arbitration. And Uber is like most other companies in that regard.
Tony West
In addition, to punishing sexual offenders and protecting our children, we must also provide services, resources and counseling to the people who are victims of these horrible crimes.
Jim Costa
Another interesting field, which is my own, is cofactors, not only to the disease but also to transmission. I am still puzzled by the fact that you get more sexual transmission in some ethnic populations. One way to answer this is to look for genetic factors.
Luc Montagnier
Many young people, many children, are being abused, being put down, being bullied because of their sexual orientation.

Paolo Bacigalupi
It’s sad that the most glorious of sexual experiences can make us feel guilty, ashamed, embarrassed, and abnormal.

Every company should have zero tolerance on sexual harassment so that victims feel secure while taking a stand.
Soni Razdan
In the case of my book, I don’t think it’s really the coming-out gay novel that everyone really needed, even though it was received as such. The boy is too creepy, he betrays his teacher, the only adult man with whom he’s enjoyed a sexual experience, etc.
Edmund White
There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible.

Jock Sturges

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
Astaire was not a sexual animal, but he made his partners look so extraordinarily related to him.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The strong bond of sisterhood was a famous trait in classical art and literature about Amazons. But it was modern people who interpreted that as a sexual preference for women. That started in the 20th century. The Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva declared that Amazons were symbolic of lesbianism in antiquity.
Adrienne Mayor
I’m setting up a fund to empower girls and women to speak up – on all issues, not just sexual harassment. For me, it’s about inspiring women to come together.
Gretchen Carlson
As Ohio Solicitor General and in pro bono private pract

As Ohio Solicitor General and in pro bono private practice, I defended Ohio’s hate crimes law. This included a brief in the Wisconsin v. Mitchell case where the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Wisconsin’s hate crime law that included sexual orientation. Ohio’s should include it as well, and we support it.
Richard Cordray
The nation certainly would have been better off if President Clinton could have focused on Osama bin Laden without being distracted by the Paula Jones sexual harassment case and its criminal investigation offshoots.
Brett Kavanaugh

The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: It’s a girl.
Shirley Chisholm
We know in our society, women are valued for their sexual desirability and not necessarily for what they have to say.
Jessica Chastain
We don’t ask the actor playing James Bond what his sexual preference is. So I don’t know what it is, really, with trying to out actors who portray gay characters on television. But it is some sort of fascination in society.
Jack Falahee
I am concerned about the growing problem of sexual abuse and exploitation of our children.

David Bailey
I wonder what kind of lives they will have built for themselves when they turn 45 and can’t really have any connection with people because they are so used to fleeting sexual.
Randy Harrison
Anybody who comes to the cinema is bringing they’re whole sexual history, their literary history, their movie literacy, their culture, their language, their religion, whatever they’ve got. I can’t possibly manipulate all of that, nor do I want to.
David Cronenberg
I didn’t vote for Trump, but I do believe his coming to power has done its own bit of good. People are coming out to protest against issues they so far didn’t talk about – sexual abuse, gun control, racism – because a bunch of crazies are out propagating them.
Daryl Davis
I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song, I want to go have sex. I’m very animalistic when it comes to stuff like that. Very basic emotions.
Channing Tatum
When women are told that sexual harassment is ‘part of the job’ or when assistants of both sexes enable harassing behavior, they have bought into the culture that says such behavior is not just permissible, it is a desirable expression of power.
Pramila Jayapal
There is no place on or off the court for language that disrespects anyone’s sexual orientation. That is not who I am or what I believe, and I will strive every day to be a better person.

Mick Hucknall
My experiences have also convinced me that sexual harassment is very rarely publicly punished after it is reported, and then only after a pattern of relatively egregious offenses.
Hope Jahren
It wasn’t sexual in its element. I wasn’t being exploited. I was doing what happened. It was very challenging because I played Phyllis from 15 years old to 53 when she died of breast cancer.
Lesley-Anne Down
It is women who have traditionally, historically been given non-human roles, perceived as simply the daughters of Eve, perceived as either Madonna or whore. And I think that it is the sexual revolution that plays one part in female emancipation.
Hugh Hefner
I want to focus on the importance of supporting marriage. I always speak about the need to respect everyone’s human dignity – regardless of their sexual orientation. I think strengthening marriage is something that benefits everyone.
Salvatore J. Cordileone
I feel very deeply about the need to respect and tolerate people of different social – or sexual orientation. But at the same time, I believe marriage should be preserved as an institution for one man and one woman.
Mitt Romney
One of the things that struck me about the 1870s, which we still haven’t nearly addressed, is what to do about the male-female divide. One of the forbidden topics is when men own up to the omnivorousness of their sexual interest and how to square that with being in love with an individual woman.
Michel Faber
The speed with which modern society has adapted to accommodate the world’s vast spectrum of gender and sexual identities may be the most important cultural metamorphosis of our time.
Jenna Wortham
It’s sobering to realize that there’s a huge chunk of the U.S. voting population that doesn’t think of sexual assault as something horrendous enough to disqualify a presidential candidate.
Ana Kasparian
I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn’t the way to do things. I don’t discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color… that’s immature.
ASAP Rocky
Unlike financial impropriety, which needs to be proven,

Unlike financial impropriety, which needs to be proven, a charge of sexual loutishness and aggressiveness in and of itself can finish you off. Does the man match the charge? To be the kind of man who would be accused of being so gross is guilt enough.
Michael Wolff
There are very few parts, and very few scripts, that acknowledge women as sexual beings, or simply just recognise that women have desires.
Rasika Dugal
When I was an undergraduate I had very badly annotated editions of Shakespeare’s sonnets, all of which left out the important fact that will has a sexual sense in Shakespeare’s sonnets.
Thom Gunn
The intense campaigns against domestic violence, rape, sexual harassment, and inequity in the schools all too often depend on an image of women as weak and victimized.
Katherine Dunn
I don’t judge people by their sexual orientation or the color of their skin, so I find it really hard to identify someone by saying that they’re a gay person or a black person or a Jewish person.
Diana Ross
Fortunately, I have never been a victim of sexual harassment. But there have been instances where I have lost out on work or people have shown disinterest in working with me because I was unwilling to succumb to this unspoken understanding of patriarchy.
Dia Mirza
The sexual deviance – I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss that; but we do have hints of it but in a more psychological way and therefore more human way, arguably. Or certainly to the extent that the animated series takes that sexuality.
Marton Csokas
Women who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women.

While we fight and argue about abortion and sexual orientation, we apparently forgot one of the greatest sins that God continuously acknowledges He hates: pride.

Jessica Andrade
All women who kill or have sexual obsessions or who are prostitutes have trouble with their fathers.
Catherine Deneuve
The ‘serial kisser’ tag that has been thrust on to me is a lame stereotype. It irritates me. Yes, there is sexual content in my movies, and I have never been apologetic about doing bold scenes. But it’s not fair to tag me this way because that can be very stifling.
Emraan Hashmi
I believe in literature which ties people together, that highlights what people have in common, despite the differences – color, sexual orientation, or anything which may separate us on the surface.
Olga Tokarczuk
I don’t see how you can separate human rights and the rights of all people, no matter what their sexual orientation is.
Coretta Scott King
Soccer, more often than not, helps to unite the world. What this Muslim ban is doing is dividing it: separating ‘Us’ and ‘Them’ to another degree, adding more division to a country that already struggles with race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender.
Becky Sauerbrunn
The Pre-Raphaelites, while very bothered by what the establishment thought of them, also utterly rebelled against it. In everything – social, sexual, emotional – they were out on a limb, pushing the boundaries.
Samuel Barnett
I kept a steel wall around my moral and sexual instincts – protecting them, I thought, from the threats of the real world. This gave me a tremendous advantage in politics, if not in my soul. The true me, my spiritual core, slipped further and further from reach.
James McGreevey
People on the lower rungs are more vulnerable to sexual harassment than those at the top.
Dawn Steel
In Europe, we will work towards having a common stance, while in France, we will strengthen our protection for asylum seekers whose lives are in danger because of their sexual orientation.
Najat Vallaud-Belkacem
I wouldn’t ever pose naked… I’m fine to do bikinis and certainly lingerie if I feel it’s done tastefully… cute like Victoria’s Secret, but nothing like raunchy or overly sexual.
Hailey Baldwin
When I was I younger I didn’t want to be gay. Not because I was scared of the sexual thing; I didn’t want to be a clone. Now this was in the late ’70s.
Neil Tennant
I met Bill Clinton in 1977 while I was working as a news reporter for KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after we met, we began a sexual relationship that lasted for twelve years.
Gennifer Flowers
It was exactly the same on the South Park movie really too. There’s lots of violence in that too, but it always came down to anything sexual… They don’t care about anything else.
Trey Parker
One of the things I regret is that too often in our society a person’s whole identity is shaped by their sexuality, or by their sexual orientation. In good Catholic eyes, a person’s sexual orientation does not matter.
Vincent Nichols
I think the State shouldn’t poke its nose into the sexual relations of consenting adults.
Rocco Buttiglione
While Congress did not, to my knowledge, calculate aggregate dollar values for the nationwide effects of racial discrimination in 1964, in 1994 it did rely on evidence of the harms caused by domestic violence and sexual assault, citing annual costs of $3 billion in 1990 and $5 to $10 billion in 1993.
David Souter
I completely think of myself as sexual. Completely and utterly. Probably more so than I did when I was 30. I don’t know why. I’m very comfortable with how I look. I’m absolutely committed to never having anything done to my face. I would never let anyone near me with a Botox needle.
Lesley Manville
The great mass of women throughout history have been co

The great mass of women throughout history have been confined to the cultural level of animal life in providing the male with sexual outlet and exercising the animal functions of reproduction and care of the young.
Kate Millett
Personally (and I believe I can speak for my sisters on this), I am against any organization or individual who believes they are superior to and/or may wish harm upon another because of race, ethnic background, religion, or sexual orientation. We also believe in the potential unification of humanity as a whole.
John Carter Cash
Scouting ought to be about building character, not about sex. Period. Precious few parents enroll their boys in the Scouts to get a crash course in sexual orientation.
Rick Perry
I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society’s care.
Camille Paglia
Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.
Aleister Crowley
How sad is that life when a man thinks that his manliness comes with asking sexual favours from a woman. That’s the saddest way of being a man.
Parvathy
If we can fathom stripping away sexual orientation, skin color, sex, we’re all the exact same: We just want connection. We just want love.
Trevante Rhodes
I think when it comes to women who write or who fancy ourselves ‘hip downtown literati’, there is a certain contempt for being overly sexual or really looking for boyfriends. We tend to be marginalized as some ‘Sex & The City’ Carrie Bradshaw chick-lit dummies who just want shoes and a ring.
Julie Klausner
It’s so unbelievable that in 2017, almost every single woman has a story about sexual harassment.
Gretchen Carlson
Other female rappers are overly sexual, have no wit, and their lyrics are so generic. I want to change the game to make rap that shows I’m not a normal female rapper – it’s not about how rich I am, how much sex I have, or how many boyfriends I have. That’s just not me.
Awkwafina
Michael Jackson loved epic symbols. In his shows and his videos, he always destroyed or salvaged worlds; he was the hero of parables about street violence, sexual combat, war and natural disaster. It was always apocalypse or apotheosis now.
Margo Jefferson
Sexual signals can be received without being consciously sent.
Jacob Weisberg
I do not want to associate myself with sexual content on the webspace.
Priyamani
Hollywood is the definition of sexual discrimination.
Ally Sheedy
I don’t trade on my sexual identity in that way for political points. I think that’s lame, and it’s not my style.
Bari Weiss
I think for most of us, our biggest frailties are sexual.
George Michael
We don’t really know where human sexual orientations come from yet. What we do know is that the evidence we have that sexual orientation includes an innate component doesn’t seem to point to the existence of simple ‘gay genes’ and ‘straight genes.’
Alice Dreger
Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.
Anatole France
Part of the lesbian consciousness is an absolute recognition of the erotic within our lives and, taking that a step further, dealing with the erotic not only in sexual terms.
Audre Lorde
I know how to put it into a melody and make it comical but sexual at the same time.
R. Kelly
I want to bear down on violent crime, in all its aspects from terrorism to sexual offences but definitely knife and gun crime, particularly as it affects young people.
Cressida Dick
The relationships that people have – that are sexual, psychological, emotional – these relationships are not open to supervision by parents, schools, churches, or government. Nobody has any right to intervene at all in any kind of relationship like that.
Madalyn Murray O’Hair
Sexual harassment and gender discrimination is real, it’s far more pervasive than I think people have been willing to acknowledge.
Tony West
There are the aesthetic pressures for a woman to be pretty and sexy, but not sexual or have desires beyond winning a guy’s affections.
Maren Morris
Children always assume the sexual lives of their parents come to a grinding halt at their conception.
Alan Bennett
Dictatorships do cut down on rape, and pillage, not to mention sexual harassment, by the simple expedient of sending people to labour camps for life or cutting off their hands without a trial.
Barbara Amiel
Demonization of people on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, or other criteria leads to dehumanization. The notion that some are ‘other’ is a dangerous and slippery slope.
Kerry Kennedy
Whether it’s Hollywood or Bollywood, sexual harassment is a reality. I’ve experienced it first-hand, and I know many of my counterparts have as well.
Shenaz Treasury
It takes courage to come forward, and I don’t want any victim of sexual harassment to think twice about doing so.
Kim Reynolds
Even among the married, sexual satisfaction must not be sought in a way which disregards man’s character as a person and degrades him to the animal level.
Francis Arinze
So much progress has been made with topics like mental illness and drug abuse and sexual identity.
Holly Hunter
Sexual dreams aren't usually about sex.

Sexual dreams aren’t usually about sex.
Pamela Stephenson
I will never understand people who think that the way to show their righteous opposition to sexual freedom is to write letters full of filthy words.
Anna Quindlen
It is the duty of every thoughtful Indian not to marry. In case he is helpless in regard to marriage, he should abstain from sexual intercourse with his wife.
Mahatma Gandhi
Injustice is either very blatant – you walk down the street and someone calls you a name; you don’t get a job because of your gender or your skin color or your sexual preference – but injustice is also very subliminal.
Jurnee Smollett-Bell
Flower was a good metaphor for growth. The song is obviously about sexual responsibility, so that was the main metaphor. Also, it’s like knowing who someone has been and remembering and appreciating that, but really appreciating what they are now even more.
Jody Watley
Everyone thinks of the roaring twenties and associates it with decadence and flappers, female sexual liberation, the freedom of women to express themselves, the beginning of feminism. But it was also a time of huge, huge change.
Billy Howle
Democrats believe in a New South because no matter your race, immigration status, income, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, we all have the same aspirations for high-quality education, jobs, neighborhoods, health care, and retirement.
Jaime Harrison
Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.
Bertrand Russell
I fail to understand why the #MeToo campaign in India didn’t gain momentum when Malayalam actor Dileep was arrested after an actress was abducted and assaulted or when Telugu actress Sri Reddy was banned for talking about sexual harassment. These instances were more deserving of the #MeToo movement than anything else.
Payal Rohatgi
‘God Loves Uganda’ is a powerful exploration of the evangelical campaign to change African culture with values imported from America’s Christian Right. The film follows American and Ugandan religious leaders fighting ‘sexual immorality’ and missionaries trying to convince Ugandans to follow Biblical law.
Roger Ross Williams
The outburst of sexual freedom in the ’60s was bound to happen because the ’50s were so oppressing. You had to live that way; women had to be like this – it was all locked into a false reality.
Christopher Lloyd
We all flirt. When I go into a meeting with new clients I flirt with them; when I want 20p off a hamburger I’ll flirt with them. It’s not about being sexual – it’s about getting someone’s attention and getting your own way in a seductive way.
Gok Wan
There are things I take sides about, like capital punishment, which it seems to me there is only one side about: it is evil. But there are two or three sides to sexual harassment, and the moment you get into particular cases, there is injustice in every conceivable direction. It’s a mess.
A. S. Byatt
Every university has its problems. The issues range from lack of amenities, plagiarism, poor quality research, sexual harassment, faculty moonlighting, and faulty and biased recruitment.
Sanjaya Baru
Sexual underwear is tacky.
Izabella Scorupco
I never meant to be in romantic comedies; it’s just what ended up happening. But they are tricky, in a post-1960s sexual revolution way. It was easier when you couldn’t have sex scenes: everything crackled very nicely. They’re not easy.
Hugh Grant
The LGBTQ community refers to people’s sexual preferences – lesbians like women, gay people like men – and children shouldn’t be walking advertisements for sexuality when they are not old enough to make their own decisions.
Angela Stanton-King
I am not only overwhelmed with excitement to be back in the seat but also to show my support to help raise awareness to end domestic violence and sexual assault by displaying the ‘No More’ symbol as I pilot the No. 24 car.
Amber Cope
I under no circumstances want to be seen as a victim. I have worked with victims of sexual violence and I don’t have a candle to hold to the experiences of those victims.
Jess Phillips
The supposedly petty sexual harassment that so many women have to endure, from Hollywood studios to the factory floor at Ford, is a national outrage that needs to end. Period.
Bret Stephens
Sexual harassment does bring shame.
Tarana Burke
Some people feel like women should dress in a way that doesn’t promote attention-seeking. But this is just my body. My body in itself isn’t only sexual.
Zazie Beetz
Over the last several years, I’ve passed defunding Planned Parenthood, the sonogram bill, voter ID. I passed the TSA anti-groping bill, sanctuary cities, loser pay, border security, and the toughest Jessica’s law in the entire nation against sexual predators.
David Dewhurst
There’s no question that homophobia is rampant among the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims – but that doesn’t negate the fact that there are huge groups of Muslims who have easily reconciled their faith and sexual orientation, like LGBT people in other faith communities.
Reza Aslan
We need to ensure that no one is denied employment, housing, opportunities, or benefits because of their sexual orientation.
Elizabeth Esty
Yet, when child sex offenders are brought to justice and serve time for their offenses, they are often released into unsuspecting communities and left free to resume their sexual attacks.
Bob Ney
I think our nation cannot stomach the notion of a woman in sexual terms whatsoever: that we are so puritanical that we cannot dismiss the notion of sex from our minds when it comes to women.
Rod Lurie
As for those who condemn Hef, he’s done a great deal for women’s lib and sexual liberation as well.
Barbi Benton
I’ve always been conscious not to take advantage of my sexual orientation because I don’t think it’s fair, and it shouldn’t matter.
Syd
And I like the way Cain writes his women. Very strong. They’re kind of lusty, they know what they want, they’re full of conviction. Cain’s women are sexual.
Pia Zadora
While we can work hard at improving our health, size is no more in our control than the color of our skin, our ethnicity, or our sexual preference.
Allison Anders
I invite you to get out of the box, be yourself. If you

I invite you to get out of the box, be yourself. If you have blue hair, pink, yellow; if you have a broken tooth; if you have other sexual preferences… be yourself. Fight for your happiness always.
J Balvin
Humiliation, sexual harassment, fear and starvation was the order of the day until around 10 P. M. Interrogators made sure that I had no clue about the time, but nobody is perfect; their watches always revealed it.
Mohamedou Ould Slahi
Trauma and sexual abuse are two of our most pressing human and societal problems. They must be studied by unbiased scientific investigation rather than polarized by hysteria and politics.
Peter A. Levine
In our society, women are valued for their sexual attraction. I’d like to get away from the sex symbol idea of what beauty is. Actually, that’s probably the farthest thing from beauty, because it’s makeup and hair, it’s pouty lips – it’s not real.
Jessica Chastain
Thus the genetic basis to the origin of bird species is to be sought in the inheritance of adult traits that are subject to natural and sexual selection.
Peter R. Grant
And it’s absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating – and the levels of the communication that I’ve seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why don’t we have that here?
Emma Thompson
If I had a son, I want him to be able to grow up in a world where he would not be called a sexual predator for trying to kiss someone.
Madison Cawthorn
I want to be able to still surprise myself, even shock myself, whether it be sexual content, whether it be about the theological content, whatever. I want to be able to knock myself sideways. Otherwise, what a waste of a life that would be.
Clive Barker
I had always thought my fantasy career would be making indie films and doing my own thing. But then ‘Superbad’ came along, and it totally changed everything. It was so hilarious and smart and extreme; you could probably do a psychoanalysis term paper on the male sexual psyche going on there.
Greg Mottola
Fans are going to give you crap no matter what sexual orientation you are.
Joseph Benavidez
I was sexually harassed while building Rent the Runway – propositioned, sent sexual text messages, harassed and threatened in person.
Jennifer Hyman
The impulse to cruelty is, in many people, almost as violent as the impulse to sexual love – almost as violent and much more mischievous.
Aldous Huxley
The sexual abuse and exploitation of children is one of the most vicious crimes conceivable, a violation of mankind’s most basic duty to protect the innocent.
James T. Walsh
I have to be honest: I don’t get many, if any – I don’t know that I’ve ever received a phone call in my office from somebody that says they’ve been discriminated against based on their sexual orientation.
Kevin Cramer
The right diet directs sexual energy into the parts that matter.
Barbara Cartland
With scripts I’ve always looked at them and thought about kids, you know? Thought about the world and the impact… I won’t do nudity and I never felt comfortable with that whole idea or things with huge sexual content – not my thing.
Carrie-Anne Moss
My new passion is to get Internet education mandated in all schools. We’ve got to start teaching our kids how to be safe in the 40,000 plus chat rooms that are out there. Because they’re being had. These sexual predators groom the kids. I know, I’ve arrested enough of them.
Erik Estrada
I often have to play a role to get what I want in my life. At the same time, I can’t do that without also nourishing who I really am and being aware of my true self and the ways in which I’m not bound by my race or sexual orientation or class or country or whatever.
Justin Simien
Marketers use big data profiling to predict who is about to get pregnant, who is likely to buy a new car, and who is about to change sexual orientations. That’s how they know what ads to send to whom. The NSA, meanwhile, wants to know who is likely to commit an act of terrorism – and for this, they need us.
Douglas Rushkoff
If there is anything that has broken the church’s relationship with families, it is the global sexual abuse scandal.
Anthea Butler
Feminism is for all women and girls, not a privileged few or one ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference, ability, region or hemisphere.
Robin Morgan
When an incident is reported, HR almost always starts from a place of disbelief. They request evidence and ask for proof. But if HR is investigating a sexual harassment case within the company, it is their duty as HR to protect their employees. That is the sentiment that has to shift.
Cheryl Yeoh
It becomes dangerous for somebody who doesn’t want their boss to know their sexual preference to use online networks to push for laws supporting gay marriage or same-sex partner rights if they can’t do so with a pseudonym.
Rebecca MacKinnon
As with most liberal sexual ideas, what makes the world a better place for men invariably makes it a duller and more dangerous place for women.
Julie Burchill
I want to stand up for what I believe in, and I don’t think it’s right when people say things or bash people because of their sexual orientation.
Brad Marchand
Sex is… perfectly natural. It’s something that’s pleasurable. It’s enjoyable and it enhances a relationship. So why don’t we learn as much as we can about it and become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all sexual?
Sue Johanson
I was lucky I always got along with girls. It was never like a big deal. I had a lot of girls that I was friends with that I wasn’t sexual with. I think having two older sisters made me comfortable like that. I just like people, so I can just go up and say whatever.
Vince Vaughn
People have evolved into something selfish, greedy and intolerant. People are unaccepting, because of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation… I’ve seen it in punk clubs, and I’ve seen it in the world.
Gerard Way
Sexual orientation, color, background – that’s what I want people to take away: Anyone can be anything.
Ashley Thomas
I believe every photographer is influenced by their sexual preference in a greater or lesser way, and it certainly has affected me.
Cole Sprouse
People of conscience are compelled to oppose racism, sexism, and intolerance of people with different sexual identities and orientation wherever and whenever they see it.
Stan Van Gundy
I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.

I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.
Janet Jackson
For me, some things, like, I just don’t want to know what they are before I eat them. Like, if you’re going to start feeding me, like, sexual organs of animals, or, like, a monkey’s brain or something – I’ll eat it. Just don’t tell me what it is until after I’ve finished it.
Johnny Iuzzini
If you go into a police station and report a burglary the first question is not: ‘Are you telling the truth?’ If you are the victim of a sexual offence, very often in the past that has been the first question.
Keir Starmer
Our differences – in race, sexual preference, economic – have always been used as distractions to keep us divided. We get so wrapped up in our own stories that we can’t hear each other.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner
I know I am more on the sexual side in terms of my appearance, which is something that the metal world is not used to. But I am comfortable with it. It’s how I express my art, and myself.
Maria Brink
It doesn’t matter what the colour of your skin is, your sexual preference, the region where you were born, your gender. We’re all equal… We can’t take certain minorities and think they have super powers and are different from the others.
Jair Bolsonaro
The evasion of justice within academia is all the more infuriating because the course of sexual harassment is so predictable. Since I started writing about women and science, my female colleagues have been moved to share their stories with me; my inbox is an inadvertent clearinghouse for unsolicited love notes.
Hope Jahren
They say that women’s sexual peaks are in their 30s or 40s, and I think that it happens because they’re more comfortable. It’s not some hormonal change that happens at that age. Of course, it would be nice to have more physiological insight on that.
Mary Roach
Bottom line – cosmetics are used to accentuate an existing sex difference in facial contrast. This does not mean that women engage in this beautification practice with knowledge of this sexual dimorphism.
Gad Saad
People want to be special. I think ambition can take in a whole package of things, power or sexual excitement.
James Wolcott
I will do everything in my power to ensure our country is a place where everyone, whatever their gender identity or sexual orientation, can be themselves and live their lives with dignity and respect.
Penny Mordaunt
To shy away from human extremes and human sensuality makes for bone-dry fiction. A world parched of our sexual releases and our tumultuous daily emotional lives is deeply impoverished. It is not lifelike, at least life as I remember living it.
Allan Gurganus
I can’t really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too?
Audre Lorde
The criteria for serving one’s country should be competence, courage and willingness to serve. When we deny people the chance to serve because of their sexual orientation, we deprive them of their rights of citizenship, and we deprive our armed forces the service of willing and capable Americans.
Dianne Feinstein
These are men and women who are willing to risk their lives in defense of their country. And the fact that their orientation – sexual orientation’s been held against them is a blot on our nation’s reputation.
Dick Durbin
I’ll flip samples where one’s a completely dark song and the next one is a complete sexual song. People think my whole thing is a dark thing, but I don’t.
PartyNextDoor
We learn our sexual preferences and orientations.
Virginia Johnson
I am a very firm believer in the Aloha spirit – respect and love for everyone, irrespective of their religion, race, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Tulsi Gabbard
There are no grounds for discrimination in Europe, regardless of whether on grounds of gender, sexual orientation, or religion. On the other hand, there is equally no place for radical thought and political Islam.
Sebastian Kurz
#MeToo is a welcome change, and I would encourage women to call out sexual harassment issues in their workplaces.
Anirudh Ravichander
To say ‘radical feminist’ is only a way of indicating that I believe the sexual caste system is a root of race and class and other divisions.
Gloria Steinem
Like Robert Mapplethorpe, Helmut Newton, and so many others before me, sexual imagery has always been a part of my photography.
Terry Richardson
Certainly that’s what I like in a lot of the music that I listen to, kind of a sexual energy. Guitars and rock get it across best for me.
Andrew Ridgeley
Sexual relations, of course, have existed, exist, and will exist. However, this is in no way connected with the indispensability of the existence of the family.
Ferdinand Mount
I’m all for teaching about important concepts like consent; I’m also very aware of how damaging and destructive it can be to be a victim of sexual harassment.
Kat Timpf
If you want my personal attitude, I would tell you that I don’t care about a person’s sexual orientation.
Vladimir Putin
There’s a common perception among college administrators that they should conceal the high level of sexual assaults that take place on their campuses because it would bring discredit to the university, bring them a bad name if it was publicized.
Jimmy Carter
Since most of the transmission is sexual transmission, you have a regional or local response to the virus.
Luc Montagnier
Failing to find in women exactly the same kind of sexual emotions, as they find in themselves, men have concluded that there are none there at all.
Havelock Ellis
I don’t believe we ought to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. If people are in a same-sex relationship, and they want their partner to be able to have health benefits or be designated as a beneficiary in your life insurance, there’s no reason we shouldn’t do that.
Liz Cheney
It’s not that sexual liberation or feminist messages are dead.
Susie Bright
If you listen to the radio, it's all men who are emotio

If you listen to the radio, it’s all men who are emotional and women who are sexual. There’s nothing wrong with that! It definitely should be the case, but it makes me sad that women are afraid to be emotional because it makes them look weak.
Julia Michaels
The middle of ‘America’s Women’ is about the Civil War, and how women, black and white, confronted slavery and abolition. As in every other period of crisis, the rules of sexual decorum were suspended due to emergency.
Gail Collins
I went to Catholic schools my entire life and never had anything close to a cis heterosexual sexual education let alone a queer one. Everything I learned was trial and error or the Internet or ‘Talk Sex with Sue Johanson.’
Jaboukie Young-White
Imagine living in a state where businesses can legally refuse to serve people based on their sexual orientation. Where parents can force their children to undergo conversion therapy to ‘cure’ them of their ‘homosexual tendencies.’
Lynn Schusterman
There will come a time when very few will care about other people’s sexual preference – or preferences.
Clive Davis
For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship.
Warren Beatty
But Bill Clinton had the good taste to lie about his sexual peccadillos. He had the honor and the decency to want to cover it up.
Lynn Samuels
I think Julia is defining a new feminism. It’s the power of the open heart. And its ok to be sexual.
Kenny Loggins
One of the great things about The New York Women’s Foundation is we raise money and give it in grants to small community-based organizations focused on helping women help themselves – around domestic violence, economic security, education, and sexual rights.
Diana Taylor
I think the issue of clergy sexual abuse sparked people to look at their faith in a different way.
William P. Leahy
The backseat produced the sexual revolution.
Jerry Rubin
So many people who deal with sexual harassment don’t have the means to file lawsuits or to get legal representation or legal advice.
Tarana Burke
I’m totally fine with being ‘sexual.
Chloe Madeley
No act can be quite so intimate as the sexual embrace.
Havelock Ellis
In 1930s mysteries, all sorts of motives were credible which aren’t credible today, especially motives of preventing guilty sexual secrets from coming out. Nowadays, people sell their guilty sexual secrets.
P. D. James
Let’s keep it real – the only time some right wingers pretend they care about protecting women from sexual assault is when they want to discriminate against the trans community.
Ana Kasparian
Part of the concept behind the magazine was breaking barriers. And it wasn’t just a sexual thing. It was racial and doing the things that were right. And in the process, that set ‘Playboy’ apart.
Hugh Hefner
Homosexuality is against nature. Sexual expression is permitted only within marriage, between man and woman, male and female. Anything else is an abnormality and is against nature.
Pope Shenouda III
I’m grateful to the LGBTQ community for giving me the courage to write music about who I am and not just about my sexual orientation.
Hayley Kiyoko
The federal government has no business in restricting basic human rights based on sexual orientation, and I am ready to protect equality at every turn in Congress.
Katie Hill
I’m just waiting for the moment where it’s accepted that women are just as sexual as men without women having to be overtly sexy just to prove how ‘liberated’ they are.
Marina and the Diamonds
What’s really fun is seeing mothers bringing their daughters to the shows. And the best part is the mothers know they don’t have to worry about sexual innuendo in the songs. The shows are family shows.
Peter Noone
It’s a tossup on whether WWE is going to insult your intelligence, religion or sexual preference. It’s become a joke and a farce.
Jim Cornette
During three decades’ worth of sexual harassment allegations, Harvey Weinstein lined the pockets of Democrats to the tune of three quarters of a million dollars.
Ronna McDaniel
I had a very good sexual education. My mother was very advanced in that regard. She conveyed to me the sense of reverence and wonder about my body and the powers of my sexuality not only to give life, but also to be a whole person and to enjoy pleasure. It was put to me as an almost holy act.
Gioconda Belli
Nicole is, as I’m sure everyone is aware, she’s very open. She’s very sexual about things and she definitely doesn’t hold back, which is very hard for me to accept, because I was raised in Russia.
Artem Chigvintsev
A trait which differentiated New York from European cities was the incredible freedom and ease in which life, including sexual life, could be carried on, on many levels.
Jerzy Kosinski
Our sexual lives are maintained by the shadow side and the light side, so the more we can understand and embrace enlightenment, the less need there is for chemical enhancement.
Kyan Douglas
I’m all about freedom to go ahead and practice whatever kind of religions you want, have whatever sort of sexual preference you want, freedom in terms of being pro choice for women.
David Draiman
They had absolutely no sexual interest in me.
Betty Hill
I love the feeling that you get when you can really laugh with a man and be natural and not always think that there’s a sexual element going on. For me, flirting with a man means making fun of myself and trying to open myself and be very unpretentious.
Cameron Diaz
As an actor it's your job to empathise with your charac

As an actor it’s your job to empathise with your character regardless of whether they have a different sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, or anything.
Darren Criss
We do most of what we do out of our sexual energy and our sexual needs.
Frank Langella
You can’t fake creativity, competence, or sexual arousal.
Douglas Coupland
I unequivocally support the rights of all people without regard to sexual orientation.
Philip Anschutz
I’ve spent many hours on national TV talking about politics and current affairs, including sexual harassment and the #MeToo Movement.
Ana Navarro
As a liberal, I am morally obligated to be pragmatic. What good do I do poor people, elderly people, people who are being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation if I’m not realistic about accomplishing something.
Barney Frank
Another side to me is this very sexual being. When I look back on my life, it’s always been there. It’s been there since I was 10 years old, having the imagination that I had.
Janet Jackson
I’m more offended when someone’s killed on television than when there’s something that’s sensuous or sexual. So what?
Calvin Klein
We hope we are moving toward a world where sexual orientation is not an issue, because we hate the idea of a gay ghetto. I think that it’s a real shame that people become restricted by their sexuality or define their whole lives by their sexuality.
Neil Tennant
Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.
Kylie Minogue
The only sexual act that is sinful is the one that uses or abuses.
Pat Buckley
The most important thing will be when we actually stop talking about sexual orientation. The moment we reach that point when that is not important any more, we’ve reached a big goal which is a long way in front of us.
Conchita Wurst
And one of the unfortunate-but-sad truths is that sexual assault, sexual violence is far more prevalent in American society than a lot of people recognize.
Tony West
One should never be sexually involved with anyone one genuinely cares for. A sexual relationship guarantees a loss.
Mary Gordon
Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist even after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared.
Mortimer Adler
Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.
Lady Gaga
As a pastor, I addressed the sorts of issues I see people struggling with most and the issues talked about most directly and most frequently in the New Testament. That leads us to recurring concerns with sexual immorality, relational sins, and vices associated with the breaking of the Ten Commandments.
Kevin DeYoung
Society historically has a difficult time with the concept of something new and foreign that shakes up our comfortable views, especially if it involves the very volatile question of sexual identity.
Mercedes Ruehl
Strictly speaking, there are no real substitutes for sexual satisfaction.
Dashiell Hammett
My own musical ambitions were born when I was five, watching the Ed Sullivan Show on TV. When Elvis Presley burst on to the screen, singing ‘Don’t Be Cruel,’ I felt my first sexual thrill, though I didn’t know what it was at the time.
Suzi Quatro
Of woman as a real human being, with sexual needs and sexual responsibilities, morality has often known nothing.
Havelock Ellis
Sexuality surrounds us like a dangerous aura. The same reverence that is given to the spirit is not given to the flesh. We have had a sexual revolution, but the sexual revolution only has made sex more pervasive. It hasn’t granted the level of reverence and respect that it should have.
Gioconda Belli
I wanted to be a farmer’s wife. I thought it would be quite fun to wake up of a morning, collect eggs and have sheep and pigs as pets. I know now that it would also involve having to sleep with the farmer, but at the time I wasn’t thinking about the sexual implications – I was 11.
Miranda Hart
To end the pervasive culture of sexual harassment, it can no longer be the norm that men look the other way. It only ends when men actively participate in ending it.
J. B. Pritzker
It is my firm belief that the highest value must be placed on the virtue of each individual, regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
Tennys Sandgren
Black America knows better than anyone else the high price children pay for the sexual agendas of adults.
Maggie Gallagher
We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it’s pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen.
Jake Gyllenhaal
