I'm from New Orleans, and we have a Mardi Gras group called the Chewbacchus. It's celebrating all things geeky: science fiction, fantasy, 'Star Wars,' 'Doctor Who,' 'Men in Black,' 'Ghostbusters,' everything.
If I have a male protagonist, it's a studio movie, and if it's a female protagonist, it's an indie movie. That's just how it is. It's not about the studios. It's about America and who goes to see movies. Women are interested in men and women, and men aren't interested in the woman's story. They just aren't.
Women are just as violently minded as men are, but with men, it's taken for granted.
Men have desired, and justly, that women should learn from their confessions in regard to the conflict between man and woman. But woman, because of the conventional conception of womanly purity, has been intimidated from conceding to men a deep insight into her erotic life experiences.
If we want to create change, we all have to be feminists - men, women, everyone needs to acknowledge that. Sometimes I have more in common with the man than I do the woman in the room.
The late, great Janis Joplin could drink ten men under the table, then sing loud enough to shake the teeth out of their head.
I don't think families can earn enough money with one wage-earner any more. I also think there are a lot of men who don't want to bust their butts and do that kind of work. They want to stay home with the kids, but guys who do want to do that aren't looked up to as the masculine kind of guy, and that's a shame.
We need to fight violence and ignorance. It is true: when one strolls out, one sees women with scarves and men with beards. This has always been the case in Morocco. Morocco is built on tolerance.
I have the world's worst taste in men, so now I simply have wonderful relationships of the friend kind, but trying to settle down with somebody? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm beyond that.
Women love hairy men. Cavemen were the sexiest men in history.
The purpose of the mission must be thoroughly understood beforehand, and the men must be inspired with a sense of personal dedication that knows no limitations... In an age of high technology and Jedi Knights, we often overlook the need for personal involvement, but we do so at our own risk.
Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.
Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth; they are not playing with the inner character.
At that moment of realization I knew that I had been blind because I had wished not to see; it was only then that I realised, at last, that all these dead men, French and Germans, were brothers, and I was the brother of them all.
I can't relate to skinny, perfectly sculptured, tanned men singing about gold chains and Ferraris because I'm not that way.
It's why real men just go out in the woods and howl. I must do it and get paid.
I have a lot of good girlfriends that I really love, but you know, most of my close friends are men.
When women criticized men, I called it 'insight'... When men criticized women, I called it 'sexism' and 'backlash.'
Our children think our world will end. It's a tragic thing. Adults don't think that. They don't see that we are eating the planet. But we are. If you take all the biomass of vertebrates on the planet, 98% are men and their domestic animals. All the wild animals in the world make up only 2%.
This is the problem today. Men and women have switched places. The woman now acts more like the man.
Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it.
I just think that there's so much judgment in the world, whether it's coming from women in general or from men onto women - it's a lot. And when it comes to being a mom, I wish everyone could band together and realize that everyone has different beliefs, different styles, and different things that work for them and their family.
This world was not created piecemeal. Africa was born no later and no earlier than any other geographical area on this globe. Africans, no more and no less than other men, possess all human attributes, talents and deficiencies, virtues and faults.
I often wonder if my being a fairly small Asian woman with a high-pitched quietish voice plays a role in how often men feel entitled to come up to me and tell me, 'You have this doll act,' or whatever.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.
I feel a terrifically painful disturbance in the natural law of things between men and women that must be balanced in the next few thousand years. What has been done in the name of holding up masculine energy as God and feminine energy as subservient has really wiped out everything.
When I first started, it was so male-heavy, so male-dominated, that on the 18th floor of the criminal courts building, which was where I worked, there were three men's bathrooms and only one women's bathroom.
I guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife.
You cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing, protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution.
I believe in a uniform for work, but why, because we're men, do we have to be ghettoised into grey suits?
There are a lot of women screenwriters, but they are obviously outnumbered by men. And it still is a very much male-dominated industry.
There is no article of men's clothing that can make a man look more like a douche than the ascot. There are, however, a few men who can pull it off. Context is everything.
I have not personally suffered from the deprivations, the bitterness and sorrow which bring so many men and women to a realisation of social injustice.
#BlackLivesMatter brought a new sense of urgency, audacity, and outrage to the issue of police violence against black men that has made it impossible to ignore, to cover up, or to justify.
Three of my novels and a good number of my short stories are told from the point of view of men. I was brought up in a house of women.
