San Francisco is a mad city – inhabited for the most part by perfectly insane people whose women are of a remarkable beauty.
You just need to be honest with how you’re feeling. But, a lot of women are afraid of it because they think, ‘Oh, they are going to take my baby away. They’re gonna call me incompetent. I’m going to lose my job. I’ve got to be tough, it’s a man’s world.’
Women are better at reading body language everywhere in the world. As a matter of fact, it’s associated with the female hormone estrogen. Women are better at figuring out of tone of voice, reading your face and posture and gesture.
When women are in positions of power it’s a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around.
Women are so complicated, it’s unbelievable.
As for a fantasy life, working women are more likely to fantasize about finding the perfect child care provider who she can both trust and afford. She might also fantasize that tonight her husband will both shop for and cook dinner.
If more women are in leadership roles, we’ll stop assuming they shouldn’t be.
Many women are heads of households. Many are the primary wage earners for their families.
I think where men are credited for being strong, women are divas. I just think it’s such a cop out.
So when you start touring, women are definitely going to check you out first.
What I think is wonderful is that women are not just avengers or victims in films. They are people. They are characters. It’s so refreshing. They’re playing different kinds of characters, and they aren’t being typecast.
I think the rules will change and I think more and more young women are going to decide that having a family and taking care of a home is not a bad choice, but how do we subsidize it – not necessarily European-style socialism. It’ll have to be a new more creative, dynamic and local solution.
Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.
The Miss America Pageant reinforces a belief that women are merely how they look and how they please.
The idea that women are innately gentle is a fantasy, and a historically recent one. Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, is depicted as wreathed in male human skulls; the cruel entertainments of the Romans drew audiences as female as they were male; Boudicca led her British troops bloodily into battle.
I find it fascinating that sport has such a strong connection to success in business. Arguably, C-suite women are some of the most successful women, and more than half of them played at a more advanced level than just the general population of women in business that had sport in their background.
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.
I do resent that when you’re in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you’re put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they’re older. So it’s a drag that we’re not allowed to age.
If women are the key to Africa’s future – and I believe they are – we must figure out how to take away the barriers to their participation.
I think that white women are more apt to read laterally. So I think there’s some strong identification for women, and their political and social positions, and minorities. I think that the political power of, let’s say, the average Indian man and a white woman are pretty equal.
If our American women are going to work to put food on the table and pay for the mortgage, then we better make sure that they get put into jobs that pay well and that pay their worth. That’s why I’m such a huge advocate about computing jobs, because those are the jobs.
I’m a multi-faceted woman and person, like all women are – there’s no black and white. We have shades of grey in the middle. And even many more colours that other people don’t see!
I don’t think there should be anything that women are embarrassed to talk about in the 21st century, because for the last 100,000 years, men have said everything that’s on their minds and described everything they have done.
Women are treated as unjustly in poetry as in life. The feminine ones are not idealistic, and the idealistic not feminine.
I feel like it’s the most unnatural thing for two humans, especially of the opposite sex, to live in harmony under one roof. You realize how different men and women are.
Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now. It’s out of control.
Naturally, women are drawn to a man who understands the subtlety of emotions, and they know I’m a passionate man. But the reason I try to keep myself in shape is so I can sing better, not to look good.
Women are usually only interesting to studio executives when they are fecund, between the ages of 15 and 30. I decided to get through the really tough patch, around 50, by just cutting my price and playing ten years older. I didn’t want to have to wait until I was an old lady to play one.
It isn’t that women are less ambitious, but women want to find a balance between work, love, and family.
We cannot ensure that women will be free of discrimination in the workplace and everywhere as long as women are not universally defended under our Constitution. As it stands now, the equal rights of women are subject to interpretation of law. That is a risk our mothers, sisters and daughters cannot afford.
Should we tolerate debate within feminism’s ranks? Undebatable! But it’s not so simple: women are socialised to avoid conflict; when we do differ, especially on politics and in public, it’s still tediously labelled a ‘catfight.’
Women are just much better at getting degrees than men. It seems that school at every level plays to the natural strengths of women more than it does to men.
Women are the harshest critics of other women.
Women are so many things. We’re sisters, mothers, wives. There are so many things we encompass.
If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?
There seems to be great roles for women, and it’s not necessarily – you don’t have to be young women. Suddenly, we’re realizing that, generally, women are interesting, and they can also be weird and crazy and mean.
Targeting women is key in developing countries. It allows them to go to school, to say how many children they’re going to have, which drives the issue of population and how their children will be educated. Women are the best investments in developing countries.
How come women are treated differently from men all the time? Not only handicapped people, but women – and handicapped women, forget it!
I do think that having the villain be a woman is just as feminine, because we’re not just saying, ‘Women are wonderful and made of marshmallows,’ but women can be anything. They can be amazing superheroes, or they can be dastardly villains, and everything in between.
What I think is exciting is that, to a certain extent, there is a revolution happening where black women are owning their own beauty, despite the standard of beauty that in the past has not had space for it.
You know, it’s about getting out there and having a good time. Not about worrying – all these young books for women are like I’m 29 with a closet full of Prada shoes and I can’t get a date. Come on.
The truth of it is that women are far more logical than men.
Women work harder. And women are more honest; they have less reasons to be corrupt.
I don’t really care what people tell children – when you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, one more fib won’t hurt. But I am infuriated by the growing notion, posited in some touchy-feely quarters, that all women are, or can be, beautiful.
Men are often a lot less vindictive than women are, because we are rejected constantly every day.
Men are more likely to be introverted than women are, but it’s really very slight. But the real difference I think is in how it plays out, how it relates to cultural stereotypes.
In Latin America, women are supposed to be voluptuous. They don’t believe that you have to be skinny to be attractive.
Women are problem solvers, and often we don’t get much credit for that because the typical image of a leader is someone who’s loud, obnoxious, chest-pounding. That’s not my vision of what true leadership is; true leaders are the ones who work with great commitment to get something done.
People ask me why I write strong women, and I say, ‘Well, I don’t like stupid ones.’ Who would want to read about weak and whiny women? Are they people who assume women are weak and whiny? If so, why do they think that?
Most women are one man away from welfare.
Everyone will be happier if fewer women are tied to abusive men, drop out of school, and live impoverished lives because of a random pregnancy.
Every day Black women are subjected to harsh and racist treatment during pregnancy and childbirth. Every day Black women die because the system denies our humanity. It denies us patient care.
More and more women are going online.
Most women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the reward of old age.
I think that American women are further along than any other women in the world. But you can’t have peace in a world in which some women or some men or some nations are at different stages of development. There is so much work to be done.
