Women

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.

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.

The idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.

If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I'm still waiting, it's all been to seduce women basically.

Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.

We know that women have historically had to multitask. Women have historically had to balance out everything in a household. And I think from that perspective alone, it makes us uniquely qualified to see much more than just one angle when we're approaching policy issues.

Social justice, protecting the right to vote and being engaged in politics has been a hallmark of my sorority since its founding in 1913; its first official act of public service was the Women's Suffrage March that same year.

Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn't so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn't have any money, because Africa was the 'dark continent', and because I was a girl.

Honor your daughters. They are honorable.

Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.

The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time.

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.

Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.

I have been a woman for fifty years, and I've never yet been able to discover precisely what it is I am.

To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women.
