Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it.

Whenever we have thanked these men and women for what they have done for us without exception they have expressed gratitude for having the chance to help - because they grew as they served.

You can't be a great mum and work the whole time necessarily those two things aren't ideal. We have an awful lot to work on and to debate about in relation to our working lives because it isn't working for a lot of people particularly for a lot of women.

I merged those two words black and feminist because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes.

People identify with me - everyone does - African American women Caucasian women they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.

I wouldn't call myself a feminist because I think there are differences between men and women.

I didn't want to set up a women's studies program. I thought women should learn to operate in a coeducational atmosphere because especially in national security and international affairs it's male-dominated.

Basically women have to prove they are strong at all times. And then when they go on the attack they have to not appear mean because those women often get the label of being catty.

Women speak because they wish to speak whereas a man speaks only when driven to speak by something outside himself like for instance he can't find any clean socks.

Because I have work to care about it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form.

Men always fall for frigid women because they put on the best show.

Many differences are rooted in biology and reinforced through culture so it's important to acknowledge that. Because if you say men and women are the same and if male behaviour is the norm and women are always expected to act like men we will never be as good at being men as men are.

I'm not a competitive person and I think women like me because they don't think I'm competitive just nice.

Women are the real reason we get up every day. I'm talking about real men. If there were no women I would not even have to bathe because why would I care? These are guys I'm hanging with. I wake up for a woman every day of my life to make it happen for her.

Just as everybody has the vote including women I think children should because as a child is conscious of itself then it has to me an existence and has a stake in what happens.

Women who love women are Lesbians. Men because they can only think of women in sexual terms define Lesbian as sex between women.

Women didn't want to watch other women on television because they were jealous of their husbands' diverted attention.

Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.

When I get up and work out I'm working out just as much for my girls as I am for me because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly who invests in them but who also invests in herself. It's just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list.

Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more.

There's very little advice in men's magazines because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think 'I know what I'm doing just show me somebody naked.'

I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don't have any competition. Sometimes handsome men have avoided me.

We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us the love of Black women for each other.

Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.
