Gender-based job restrictions tend to be associated with wider wage gaps and lower employment rates for women. And where girls' future earning potential is limited, families may choose to send their brothers to school instead.
Women aren't as mere as they used to be.
I look forward to the day when there are more women politicians accepted in their own right and not as 'women politicians.'
A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal. There are just too many women in the world to justify that sort of dishonorable behavior. Unless she's really attractive.
I think it is fine to have sports divided into men's and women's, just as it is fine to say a fifteen-year-old is incapable of consenting to sex. But we should recognize these are social distinctions based on biology, and not categories foisted upon us by nature.
You don't have that many women in the industry so the lane is wide open.
I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.
Because of my voice, speaking words which had been carefully chosen, women had used money they had set aside for other purposes to buy war bonds.
When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think.
Being in drag for three months - I now have an idea of what women go through. At least maybe a little.
I regard affirmative action as pernicious - a system that had wonderful ideals when it started but was almost immediately abused for the benefit of white middle-class women.
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.
In the conversation about women in leadership, male voices are noticeably absent.
There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.
When we talk about feminism - equality without apology for all - we can't be talking about for all white women or all highly educated women but all women, regardless of color, class, creed, sexual orientation or identity.
I think women love a passionate love story.
There's nothing more superficial to do than to paint a beautiful woman. The most beautiful portraits in art were of ugly women. If you paint Brigitte Bardot, it's a disaster. Sunsets, you have to stay away from sunsets. You paint a sunset, you are in great danger.
A lot of women lose definition around their waist as they get older, which can mean their bottom half can look shapeless.
I think women are vital to the future of the superhero comics and the entire industry - as creators, as editors, as consumers, as retailers.
And so, the youngsters you have today, even though there are far fewer of them - in World War II 16.5 million men and women in uniform, today roughly a million in uniform in spite of the fact that the country is almost twice as large a population as we had in World War II.
Men want children later, but women can't rely on being able to. So I'm all for scientific advances and the help they can give people.
For most women, Greenham was a place of principle, growth and song. Often joyful, sometimes terrifying, and almost always cold. As it got harder, with constant evictions and mounting violence from a frustrated and humiliated police force, the women got more determined. It was a community with a shared purpose - to live in peace.
Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women.
Taylor Swift - I can't say enough good things about her. I admire her so much as a person and as a role model for young women.
I've worked for over 11 years in the Muslim world, and the one thing that I feel like I've learned - who's to say if it's true or not true, it's just my experience - is that men don't like to see really strong, aggressive women in that area of the world.
I think it's nice for women to try to be sexy for their man.
Modesty is a quality in a lover more praised by the women than liked.
I get so tired of people acting like, you know, black men and women never help each other, never support each other.
Every day, hundreds of thousands of men and women protect and serve, often putting their own lives at risk.
Women do love each other; this whole women-against-each other, 'Dynasty' thing... we're not all after each other.
Among seniors, Social Security is the sole source of income for 26 percent of nonmarried women.
Normally, it's one or the other - a pretty, straight woman or a more charactery woman who isn't supposed to be attractive. But women like Tina Fey are leading the charge on being both. You can be funny and attractive.
I always say God should have given women one extra decade at least, especially if you want a family. You're trying to pack a lot in.
This will be the fourth time I've seen this film. I'm very proud of it and I think it's a great movie for women of any age. And almost every single man I've talked to has admitted to crying.
I have never been more proud of the United States than I am this year. We have elected an African-American president. We have the stellar Michelle Obama setting the standard for American women. I simply cannot say it enough: look how far we've come.
I have always enjoyed the company of women and have formed deep and long-lasting friendships with many of them.
