Violence against women in all its forms is a human rights violation. It’s not something that any culture, religion or tradition propagates.
I am a feminist. Women are discriminated against in so many ways, and they make up half the population.
Strong women, when respected, make the whole society stronger. One must be careful with such rapid changes, though, and make an effort to preserve, at the same time, the positive traditions of Indian culture.
In my experience, men are not necessarily less sensitive or compassionate than women are, and women are not necessarily any less aggressive or competitive than men are – as a matter of fact, often they are more so!
There are older men with younger women but you don’t see a lot of older women with younger men. There are some women who have been able to do it but not often.
Liberals have invented whole college majors – psychology, sociology and women’s studies – to prove that nothing is anybody’s fault.
Women are the victims of this patriarchal culture, but they are also its carriers. Let us keep in mind that every oppressive man was raised in the confines of his mother’s home.
I’m very particular who I work with. I’m not interested in portraying women with a cliched, generic look. I’m interested in a model who I can take a portrait of.
The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
For me, I try and be authentic in my choices and follow my instincts, and I think it’s a valuable message for women in today’s society to learn to love yourself.
In some of the greatest recordings ever made, the performance is a part of the recording. Dylan’s ‘Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35’ is all about the esthetic of that performance. You can hear the room.
What made women’s labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women.
A lot of African American women wanted to emulate white women. But I said in my mind, rationally thinking, there is no way you are going to get your hair that straight, especially in the summer.
My entire mission in life is to help women take over the world. Not by force (the route so many men have taken since the beginning of time), but with compassion, perseverance, and love.
I always open doors for women. It’s just good manners.
Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it’s a very honest emotion.
If you can’t see it, you can’t be it. It’s just having those brilliant women break out and do something – then other girls can say, ‘I can do it, too!’
Boxing is the most beautiful thing after women.
It’s only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There’s plenty of cool comics with female characters… But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
One thing standing in the way of further progress for many men is the same obstacle that held women back for so long: overinvestment in their gender identity instead of their individual personhood.
If a man belittles a woman, it could become a lawsuit. If women belittle men, it’s a Hallmark card.
There is no such thing as low maintenance or high maintenance, just a bunch of women hoping for a capable mechanic.
When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.
If you look at the role models that are out there, the women that tend to be photographed tend to be actresses and models, whereas the men are often in the media because of what they do in terms of business and sport.
Calling gender violence a women’s issue is part of the problem. It gives a lot of men an excuse not to pay attention.
