Men and Women

Men and women belong to different species, and communication between them is a science still in its infancy.

-Bill Cosby

Men insist that they don’t mind women succeeding so long as they retain their “femininity”. Yet the qualities that men consider “feminine” timidity, submissiveness, obedience, silliness, and self-debasement—are the very qualities best guaranteed to assure the defeat of even the most gifted aspirant.

-Elizabeth Gould Davis

"Today, the ideal male is the gay man and the ideal female is the worker female, the woman who can work in a coal mine just like all the other men."

-Camille Anna Paglia

"There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature."

-Stephen Stills

"Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance."

-Oscar Wilde

Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.

-John Berger

We have done almost everything in pairs since Noah, except govern. And the world has suffered for it.

-Bella Abzug
