Emilia Clarke"I'm bisexual. And so, you know, I've dated men and women."
Rachel Dolezal"Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves."
Henri Frederic Amiel"Women have this obsession with shoes."
Alexandra Paul"When anything goes, it's women who lose."
Camille Paglia"I'm tired of someone being called 'quirky' because they tripped or got a stain on their shirt. It's like a beautiful blonde lady who's quirky because she has bedhead, or she's quirky because she sometimes says the wrong, cute thing. I like it when women are quirky as human beings."
Jenny Slate"Throughout human history, in any great endeavour requiring the common effort of many nations and men and women everywhere, we have learned - it is only through seriousness of purpose and persistence that we ultimately carry the day. We might liken it to riding a bicycle. You stay upright and move forward so long as you keep up the momentum. -Ban Ki"
moon"All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women."
Voltaire"Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not."
Cher"Women always excel men in that sort of wisdom which comes from experience. To be a woman is in itself a terrible experience."
H. L. Mencken"Why is it men are permitted to be obsessed about their work, but women are only permitted to be obsessed about men?"
Barbra Streisand"Women today have more of an overview of their lives and how marriage is or is not a part of it."
Helen Reddy"The term 'alpha female' originated in my field of animal behavior, but has acquired new meaning. It refers to women who are in charge, for example, by flirting and dating on their own terms. It is also used maliciously for a loud-mouthed, controlling woman who has no patience with deviating opinions."
Frans de Waal"I'm a straight guy and I date women, but I get on really well with gay guys. I'm very comfortable with my sexuality. The weirdest thing for me is when straight guys get really freaked out by gay guys. It's almost like they're insecure in their own sexuality. For me, I can be in a room full of gay men and have fun."
Olly Murs"I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules."
Joan Jett"I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous."
Beyonce Knowles"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it."
Learned Hand"I would like to tell the young men and women before me not to lose hope and courage. Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you."

Ralph Waldo Emerson"Women get more unhappy the more they try to liberate themselves."
Brigitte Bardot"But what of black women?... I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire."
W. E. B. Du Bois"There's this ridiculous idea that I'm a gender traitor because I'm not a feminist. I'm supposed to be part of a sisterhood: you're automatically supposed to support all women just because you have the same genitals as them, which doesn't make sense."
Lauren Southern"There are two kinds of women, those who want power in the world and those who want power in bed."

Clare Boothe Luce"Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling."
Louisa May Alcott"Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it, because I believe the bigger we are, the more space we'll take up, and the more we'll have to be reckoned with."
Roseanne Barr"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."

Rachel Morrison"Women in my focus groups, they say a bald man is trustworthy. He has nothing to hide."
Kellyanne Conway"Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so."
Robert Frost"When women go wrong, men go right after them."
Mae West"I owe nothing to Women's Lib."
Margaret Thatcher"I'm really interested in trying to tell stories about women that don't involve romantic components. That's so much a part of the way we feel about female characters and their needs that it feels like it's built in - but I'd like to find a way that it's not. There are so many more stories than that."
Greta Gerwig"Nothing changes the gender equation more significantly than women's economic freedom."
Gloria Steinem"As women gain weight, they start judging themselves. But who cares! Embrace what you have. Say, 'Belly, you might be poking out today, but I'm going to choose to love you and nurture you.'"
Ashley Graham"A feminist is a person who believes in the power of women just as much as they believe in the power of anyone else. It's equality, it's fairness, and I think it's a great thing to be a part of."
Zendaya"Women are like dogs really. They love like dogs, a little insistently. And they like to fetch and carry and come back wistfully after hard words, and learn rather easily to carry a basket."
Mary Roberts Rinehart"I'm a simple man. All I want is enough sleep for two normal men, enough whiskey for three, and enough women for four."

Sarah Jessica Parker"Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea."
Robert A. Heinlein"I am a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. I am a friend of women and I am their advocate."
Carre Otis"Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together."
Michelle Obama"It's always wonderful to get to know women, with the mystery and the joy and the depth. If you can make a woman laugh, you're seeing the most beautiful thing on God's Earth."
Keanu Reeves"Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
Pat Robertson"Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work, or prison."
Tim Allen"It is always the village women who drive these things."
Stephen Lewis"I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading."
Amy Poehler"I married beneath me, all women do."
Nancy Astor"What we women need to do, instead of worrying about what we don't have, is just love what we do have."

Gloria Steinem"Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him."
Groucho Marx"I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't."
Audre Lorde"It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs."
Margaret Thatcher"Men fall in love with their eyes - they like what they see - and women fall in love with their ears - they like what they hear!"
Zsa Zsa Gabor"All together now: Women don't cause sexual harassment, harassers do."
Kirsten Powers"In 1973, the Roe v. Wade decision concluded that women have a constitutionally protected right to safe and legal abortions. That landmark decision wasn't the beginning of women having abortions; it was the end of women dying from abortions."
Jan Schakowsky"Sexuality and sensuality exists in every women, along with innocence, and I have represented only those through my characters."
Shweta Menon"A lot of women don't know how to love because there's deep reasons for them not knowing how to love. And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons."

Barbra Streisand"By improving health, empowering women, population growth comes down."
Bill Gates"There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families' and the country's economic development. A girl's lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children."
Sachin Tendulkar"I asked a Burmese why women, after centuries of following their men, now walk ahead. He said there were many unexploded land mines since the war."
Robert Mueller"I want to be a voice to young children and women and people of all ages to go for their dreams, to be resilient and have courage. Don't let fear motivate you. The American Dream says that all things are possible, and I genuinely believe that."

Molly Ivins"I come from a long line of strong and confident women out of New Orleans. My grandmother and great-grandmother were women who ran their homes and were leaders in their communities. I was never taught that there was anything that I couldn't do, and I believed that."
Stephanie Allain"I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard."

Eddie Izzard"When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues."

Jordan Peterson"They say Latina women are spicy. But we are more than that. We have power, and we run things."
Natti Natasha"Women are nothing but machines for producing children."
Napoleon Bonaparte"War is big business. It's a lot of money going to and fro, and unfortunately a lot of angst, and a lot of fear, and a lot of doubt. And eventually a lot of wonderful people, like soldiers, like men and women that are out there trying to do the best they can, they come back being wounded on many levels."
Jon Anderson"Every woman is sexy in her own way. It is up to men to step up and make women feel like they are No. 1 on that list. There is no such thing as perfection."
Kendra Wilkinson"To qualify the term 'boss' by adding 'girl' or 'babe' or 'honey' or 'pink' or whatever other ridiculous, antiquated-gender role assignment the media thinks is cute this month, is, at the least, disrespectful and at the worst, damaging to the way young women view themselves and our fight for equality in the business world."
Rachel Hollis"Whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult."
Charlotte Whitton"Women don't realize how powerful they are."

Adrienne Rich"I like my wine like my women - ready to pass out."
Robin Williams"I am always revolted when Islamic leaders, from Afghanistan or elsewhere, deny the very existence of female oppression, avoid the issue by pointing to examples of what they view as Western mistreatment of women, or even worse, justify the oppression of women on the basis of notions derived from Sharia law."
Khaled Hosseini"For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected."
Michelle Bachelet"One of the things I've told men over and over and over and over is if you're being rejected by all the women that you approach, it's not the women!"
Jordan Peterson"In life, single women are the most vulnerable adults. In movies, they are given imaginary power."

Sheryl Sandberg"How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself."

George Clooney"I don't hate women - they just sometimes make me mad."
Eminem"I hate wars and violence but if they come then I don't see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then knit them balaclavas."
Nancy Wake"While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women."
Stephen Hawking"Fasting is, first and foremost, an exercise for identifying and managing adversity in all its forms. With faith, in full conscience, fasting calls women and men to an extra degree of self-awareness."
Tariq Ramadan"Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society."
Candace Bushnell"On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter."

H. L. Mencken"Like many women my age, I am 28 years old."
Mary Schmich"Men and women must be educated, in a great degree, by the opinions and manners of the society they live in."
Mary Wollstonecraft"Women are always complaining about men's fascination with breasts. But what if men were absolutely indifferent to breasts? What would women do then with these things that serve one function once or twice in a lifetime, and the rest of the time are just in the way?"
Jonathan Carroll"The whole concept of witches was that women were speaking up for themselves and fighting for their rights. The whole concept of witchcraft came into play to hold down women and women's empowerment."
Madchen Amick"Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less."
Susan B. Anthony"As women, we may not be a minority, but there is a bond that we all share. It is not a bond of geography. Or religion. Or culture. It is a bond of shared experience - experiences that only women go through and struggles that only women face."
Amal Clooney"Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly."

Cherie Lunghi"I love women to death."

Michael Biehn"Freedom is a right ultimately defended by the sacrifice of America's servicemen and women."
Arnold Schwarzenegger"If God made anything better than women, I think he kept it for himself."
Kris Kristofferson"There's a personality trait known as agreeableness. Agreeable people are compassionate and polite. And agreeable people get paid less than disagreeable people for the same job. Women are more agreeable than men."
Jordan Peterson"I've always been attracted to women who are assertive and have confidence - qualities older women possess. They've been on the Earth a little longer. They're more seasoned. They don't play games. They know what they want, and they're not afraid to tell you."
Taye Diggs"Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation."
Ruth Bader Ginsburg"All the women want to be with me, all the men want to be like me."
Ric Flair"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.

Malala Yousafzai"For real change, we need feminine energy in the management of the world. We need a critical number of women in positions of power, and we need to nurture the feminine energy in men."
Isabel Allende"Aging does not make women powerless objects of pity but colorful and entertaining individuals and, on occasion, fire-breathing dragons that wise people don't cross."
Florence King"Women are always beautiful."

Coco Chanel"Charm, in most men and nearly all women, is a decoration."
E. M. Forster"The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses."
Charlotte Perkins Gilman"Women like myself, CEOs, can pave the way for more women to get to the top."
Andrea Jung"I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself."
Anne Bronte"When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment."
Warren Farrell"What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault."
Jenna McCarthy"I hope the fathers and mothers of little girls will look at them and say 'yes, women can.'"
Dilma Rousseff"The glory of justice and the majesty of law are created not just by the Constitution - nor by the courts - nor by the officers of the law - nor by the lawyers - but by the men and women who constitute our society - who are the protectors of the law as they are themselves protected by the law."

Chris Evans"Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody."
Franklin Pierce Adams"We love trans women; all of us know that drag wouldn't be an art form without trans women. I know that, RuPaul knows that, everybody in the gay community knows that. Trans women have always been a part of and the face of drag. And I can guarantee trans women will always be a part of 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'"
Michelle Visage"When President Obama entered the White House, the economy was in a free-fall. The auto industry: on its back. The banks: frozen up. More than three million Americans had already lost their jobs. And America's bravest, our men and women in uniform, were fighting what would soon be the longest wars in our history."
Rahm Emanuel"I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."
Susan B. Anthony"Neither man nor woman is perfect or complete without the other.

Sheri L. Dew"As we know, menstrual hygiene is an issue women have been facing over the years. It's great that the initiative to provide low-cost sanitary napkins has been undertaken. It is an empowering step for many women."
Radhika Apte"Older women know who they are, and that makes them more beautiful than younger ones. I like to see a face with some character. I want to see lines. I want to see wrinkles."
Naveen Andrews"Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters."

Kimberle Williams Crenshaw"I'm very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don't even like the word 'feminism' because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I'm not interested in trying to pretend to be a man. I don't want to embrace manhood; I want to embrace my womanhood."
Evangeline Lilly"I'm surrounded by very powerful women and very progressive men."
Christie Hefner"Speaking very generally, I find that women are spiritually, emotionally, and often physically stronger than men."

Tom Cotton"In Hiroshima, bombed Aug. 6, 1945, no warning was given of the air attack, and thus no escape was possible for the mostly women, children and old people who fell victim."
Lydia Millet"The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing - and then marry him."
Cher"When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think."
Patricia Schroeder"If you're comfortable with yourself, then you'll look beautiful. If you're not feeling comfortable with yourself, than that kind of shows. I think that as cheesy as the pageant industry can be seen at times, it actually does help women - boosting their confidence and growing into their own. I have to give it credit for that."
Olivia Culpo"I haven't trusted polls since I read that 62% of women had affairs during their lunch hour. I've never met a woman in my life who would give up lunch for sex."
Erma Bombeck"Nigeria's unity is one for which enough blood has been spilled and many hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. Many have paid for the unity of this country with their lives, and it will be wrong of us, as men and women of goodwill in this generation, to toy with those sacrifices that have been made."
Yemi Osinbajo"Women tend to judge other women harshly. We should be kinder to each other, accept that we're all different and can make different choices. Not go for some kind of stereotypical idea that we're perfect. Frankly, I'm not perfect."

Courtney Love"Relationships are made of talk - and talk is for girls and women."
Deborah Tannen"Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting."
Arthur Conan Doyle"Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants."
Coco Chanel"People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs."
Alexei Sayle"I think scent is sensual. I guess evoking a mood or a spirit is key, and I think with the women's fragrances we have evoked different types, moods or sensibilities of a woman - whether it's Daisy with the sweetness and the innocence or Lola which is more provocative, sexy and sultry."
Marc Jacobs"Yes, guns are to men what jewelry is to women!"
Steve King"Women. They are a complete mystery."
Stephen Hawking"Every day, women and girls are finding incredible confidence and taking risks. When they change one mind, pretty soon, they have changed one tradition. That changed tradition has changed a village. That one village has changed a country. That new reality means new opportunities for themselves and their daughters."
Jill Biden"There's no prerequisites to worthiness. You're born worthy, and I think that's a message a lot of women need to hear."

Evita Peron"Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them."
Bill Maher"Success doesn't come overnight, especially for women."
Rachel Morrison"I genuinely believe that, physically and emotionally, women are far stronger than men. The amount of pain they have to endure for a childbirth, a man cannot take an ounce of it. A toothache or a stomach upset is the end of our world at times."
Adnan Sami"Every company has two organizational structures: The formal one is written on the charts; the other is the everyday relationship of the men and women in the organization."
Harold S. Geneen"Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe."
Elie Wiesel"Guitars are like women. You'll never get them totally right."
Slash"The silent killer of all great men and women of achievement - particularly men, I don't know why, maybe it's the testosterone - I think it's narcissism. Even more than hubris. And for women, too. Narcissism is the killer."
James Woods"One hair of a woman can draw more than a hundred pair of oxen."
James Howell"Were there no women, men might live like gods."
Thomas Dekker"When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking."
Gail Sheehy"Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in the conclusions; their reasons are always different."
George Santayana"We are braver and wiser because they existed, those strong women and strong men... We are who we are because they were who they were. It's wise to know where you come from, who called your name."
Maya Angelou"There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats."
Pablo Picasso"Strong women only marry weak men."
Bette Davis"There's nothing women can't do. There's absolutely nothing we can't do. We're far stronger in a lot of ways than men. Way, way stronger than men. And that's my message to any woman I meet - that includes you - there's nothing you can't do, and you know that."
Betty Williams"I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress."
Alexander McQueen"Youth is impulsive. When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, it denotes that their hearts are black, and that they are often cruel and relentless, and our old men and old women are unable to restrain them. Thus it has ever been."
Chief Seattle"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his."
Oscar Wilde"My ideal man is faithful, honest, and a gentleman who knows how to treat women."
Irina Shayk"Women... can't live with 'em... can't shoot 'em."

Andrea Dworkin"Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away."
Barbara De Angelis"I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn't be a staring contest."

Tug McGraw"A gender line... helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage."
Ruth Bader Ginsburg"It was darn nigh impossible for women in rock in the '70s. There wasn't a mold if you were a woman and you were in the entertainment in the '70s. You were probably a disco diva or a folk singer, or simply ornamental. Radio would play only one woman per hour."
Ann Wilson"Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got."

Frances Beinecke"The enemy of the modern woman is not women who like fashion or are writing about it. The enemy is stereotypes that come from all places and that tell you to be one way or the other. The enemy is really real sexist people, like Todd Akin, and people who are violent against women physically or sexually."
Megan Amram"Sisterhood is important because we are all we have to stand on. We have to stand near and by each other, pray for one another, and share the joys and the difficulties that women face in the world today. If we don't talk about it among ourselves, then we are made silent by the patriarchy, and that serves us no purpose."
Ntozake Shange"Sometimes when we think about femininity, we think also fragile. But I think you can be feminine and very strong. I think make-up goes with that femininity. I think it's a natural gesture for women and one they do more for themselves than for others."
Monica Bellucci"There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women."

Tia Mowry"At the end of the day, I want to create collections that, although I am inspired by very creative women, I want my customer to walk away with a silhouette that she doesn't even know what collection it comes from. That it just lasts in her wardrobe and makes her feel strong and confident and hopefully happy."
Rachel Roy"I think women and children and older people are the three least-respected groups in our society."
Aretha Franklin"Firstly, there is no perfect man. Looking for that it worse than starting the race badly, it means you're in the wrong race. What women should be searching for is their ideal man - i.e. the one whose values, beliefs and outlook on life synergise with their own."
Matthew Hussey"For women's tears are but the sweat of eyes."
Juvenal"I have been a woman for fifty years, and I've never yet been able to discover precisely what it is I am."
Jean Giraudoux"Women may not have it easy, but we are given a fairer chance to reach for the top."
Jessica Savitch"The stereotypes of feminists as ugly, or man-haters, or hairy, or whatever it is - that's really strategic. That's a really smart way to keep young women away from feminism, is to kind of put out this idea that all feminists hate men, or all feminists are ugly; and that they really come from a place of fear."
Jessica Valenti"Women are better than men."
Ryan Gosling"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."

Rachel Cusk"We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless. -Jackie Joyner"
Kersee"Women like me aren't supposed to run for office. -Alexandria Ocasio"

Eddie Bernice Johnson"In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs."
Francois Truffaut"I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them."
Frank Sinatra"I gotta be honest with you. I'm kind of jealous of the way my dad gets to talk to my mom sometimes. Where are all those old-school women you can just take your day out on? When did they stop making those angels?"
Bill Burr"As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that."

Camille Paglia"A man having an affair is acceptable, women are called characterless. Why?"

Shakira"I dress for women and I undress for men."
Angie Dickinson"America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed."
Allen Boyd"People say women shouldn't have long hair over a certain age, but I've never done what everyone says."
Jane Seymour"We women have to stick together."
Chelsea Handler"We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? Head to the beauty shop for a pot of the latest miracle skin stuff. It's all a beautiful £1 billion con foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates."
Joan Collins"Women deeply want men who are competent and powerful. And I don't mean power in that they can exert tyrannical control over others. That's not power. That's just corruption."

Franklin P. Jones"Women are women, and hurray for that."

Adam Sandler"I'm really interested in older women, to be honest, because they have lived a life that I've not yet lived. So I really want to learn from them, and I think culturally we tend to dispose of women once they get to a certain age and they don't look a certain way."
Amanda de Cadenet"Investing in women's lives is an investment in sustainable development, in human rights, in future generations - and consequently in our own long-term national interests."

Valentina Tereshkova"I don't know if I'm a feminist, but I just know that I am all for outspoken, powerful women."
Mac Miller"I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it's a struggle, a competition of careers. There's jealousy."
Marilyn Manson"There are many, many different kinds of intersectional exclusions - not just black women but other women of color. Not just people of color, but people with disabilities. Immigrants. LGBTQ people. Indigenous people."
Kimberle Williams Crenshaw"Women have always been courageous... They are always fearless when protecting their children and in the last century they have been fearless in the fight for their rights."

Emma Goldman"Whenever people ask me: 'Why didn't you get up when the bus driver asked you?' I say it felt as though Harriet Tubman's hands were pushing me down on one shoulder and Sojourner Truth's hands were pushing me down on the other shoulder. I felt inspired by these women because my teacher taught us about them in so much detail."
Claudette Colvin"I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. Because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. I mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that's like women too."
