Black men don’t like to be called ‘boys,’ but women accept being called ‘girls.’
Don’t treat me like a little girl.
I am so not a pageant girl, but I signed up for the Miss Junior Florida contest because I thought it would be good experience.
Since being elected to the City Council, I have been unwavering in my commitment to address issues uniquely impacting women and girls and advance policies that stabilize and strengthen our communities.
Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, ’cause it’s okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.
My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the ’40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.
Our discomfort with female leadership runs deep. We call little girls bossy. We never really call little boys bossy, because a boy is expected to lead, so it doesn’t surprise or offend.
You can’t go up to girls and start talking about minor 7ths and expect to pull. It’s not going to work.
Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
I’m most comfortable in my bare shorts without any underwear and a T-shirt if I’m home. I definitely like to sleep naked. I don’t know how girls do it with thongs. Forget that!
I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough.
There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl’s complexion.
A wounded healer, I think, is a lot more powerful than a healer that has not been wounded. In ‘Weaker Girl,’ I was coming from a wounded healer’s perspective.
Women like me because I don’t look like a girl who would steal a husband. At least not for long.
I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier.
Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero – maybe ever – because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it’s puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way. That’s why he’s such a beloved character: because so many people can relate to him.
I love American girls. They’re audacious. They put more outrageous things on their bodies than anybody.
The girls and women of our race must not be afraid to take hold of business endeavor and, by patient industry, close economy, determined effort and close application to business, wring success out of a number of business opportunities that lie at their very doors.
I’m just a simple country girl.
Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized.
When 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.
It’s very flattering to be remembered as a Bond girl with brains and not just for looking good in a bikini. I was a fan of Sophie Marceau in ‘The World Is Not Enough.’ I think her performance was very underrated.
Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It’s when you make your best friends – I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
