I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don't seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper.

A good part - and definitely the most fun part - of being a feminist is about frightening men.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection support justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

What affects men sharply about a foreign nation is not so much finding or not finding familiar things it is rather not finding them in the familiar place.

Fable is more historical than fact because fact tells us about one man and fable tells us about a million men.

If you do not wish a man to do a thing you had better get him to talk about it for the more men talk the more likely they are to do nothing else.

I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who is bisexual because that means they also sleep with men and men are so dirty that I'd never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.

How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know.

What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.

Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.

I don't think feminism as I understand the definition implies the rejection of maternal values nurturing children caring about the men in your life. That is just nonsense to me.

Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week if there is anything to be got by it.

As a rule men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.

I try to speak my points of view about black America and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.

A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.

If women were particular about men's characters they would never get married at all.

Was this an old disease and if so which one? If it was new what did that say about the state of medical knowledge? And in any case how could physicians make sense of it?

And it was back in the mid-1980s and as I point out in a piece that was when we are spending about eight percent of our gross domestic product on health care. And even then we had the impression that so much of the excessive aggressive medical treatment that took place at the end of life was not only unnecessary but it was cruel.

Kennedy lied and lied about his health while he was alive even using his father's influence to get into the Navy without ever taking a medical examination.

I have no qualms about saying I am more confident in the medical treatment in America. The breast cancer survival rate is 20 per cent higher than in the UK.

Eating disorders can have serious medical and psychological consequences which left unchecked can kill. Parents should address this issue and ask their children to discuss how they feel about themselves.
