It is past time for women to take their rightful place, side by side with men, in the rooms where the fates of peoples, where their children's and grandchildren's fates, are decided.
I wring my hands because I know that as a dude, my privilege, my long-term deficiencies work against me in writing women, no matter how hard I try and how talented I am.
Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.
Men love it. They have a sense of humor, whereas a lot of women are threatened or just don't get it.
Studying literature at Harvard is like learning about women at the Mayo clinic.
If incarceration had come to define the lives of men from impoverished black neighborhoods, eviction was shaping the lives of women. Poor black men were locked up. Poor black women were locked out.
Around 2001, I started analyzing lesbians. I started to realize that even really butch-acting or -dressing women still had a strong female identity that I never had.
I'm ambitious but I'm not particularly competitive. I'll try to get roles, as I think it's healthy to go for things, but... I think there's too much competition between women already. It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses.
I grew up with 'Jane Eyre,' reading it at school, and it's one of those, I think, for a lot of women, a lot of girls, it's the iconic story and so many girls relate to Jane Eyre and her character.
People's view of exotic or Asian women are changing. It's much nicer to hear 'She's pretty' than 'She's pretty - for an Asian woman.'
Everyone saying, 'She'll bring back women's skating. This will be the one to watch at the Olympics.' And they say things that are so far away, but really, you have to bring it back in and look at the next competition, the next day, what you want to accomplish because if you get too far ahead of yourself, you can trip yourself up.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Women's propaganda must touch upon all those questions which are of great importance to the general proletarian movement. The main task is, indeed, to awaken the women's class consciousness and to incorporate them into the class struggle.
Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph.
I think that women who know who they are are beautiful.
Apparently, I hear from people I always play strong women. I don't see them that way.
What is clear is that business leaders must commit to champion change - to be transparent about their goals for change, to align their incentives systems to drive the change, and to make sure their work environments are flexible in a way that allows men and women who choose to work to be able to achieve all of their potential.
Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.
I find it funny when women share makeup-free selfies on Twitter or Instagram, and it's such a huge deal.
And as a character, what I found very inspiring about playing Dharma, especially at that time, is that the women on television were more neurotic than they were free. And I thought, this is a rare bird and this is unique on television and I think it's really refreshing.
The vote means nothing to women. We should be armed.
Before, back in the '50s, women didn't have as many rights as men, so they had to be that stay-at-home wife and take care of the kids all day. But now, with marriage, it's a partnership. It's not like this old traditional marriage that it once was.
I have worked steadily since I started, but things are very hard for women and need to change.
Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote!
I think women's wrestling has had a hard time because of GLOW. When GLOW came out, it looked like somebody was ripping off the male industry. Everybody made fun of it. WOW is a great product. It's produced right. It's got a little story line, and it's got good-looking girls who can work and can talk.
Men and women, women and men. It will never work.
Our great symbol for the Goddess is the moon, whose three aspects reflect the three stages in women's lives and whose cycles of waxing and waning coincide with women's menstrual cycles.
Women who can, do. Those who can't become feminists.
Even though Haitian women are considered the 'poto mitan' - the 'central pillars' of the family and their communities - they are often the most underserved members of already poor communities.
As women in general, I don't think we take the time to find ways to take care of ourselves.
I think that women just have a primeval instinct to make soup, which they will try to foist on anybody who looks like a likely candidate.
I love vampire stories. That's why I did the movie. Women especially were taken with that movie-even more so when it came out on video.
I hate the victimization of women, always.
I think sometimes women are not driven by the same, albeit, testosterone power thing that pushes men to get into politics.
I think a lot of women have too many mini skirts in their closets.
There always have been funny women.
