I'm not naive to the ways of men. Their need to objectify, conquer. They see what they want to see. Women, however, see into the soul of a person.

Fascinated by the difference b/w how guys I know/respect/love speak to me like we’re on equal ground vs how common it still is for some men to speak to women like we are children who need to be taught. But point it out & guess whose chin starts to wiggle while their eyes water?
When you’re crying again because women are so pretty, it’s best not to fight what you’re feeling and let their beauty overtake you.
I don't think it ever occurred to me before how much and how often women are praised for displaying traits that basically render them invisible.
Every woman is a mad ugly bad old witch somewhere in her heart.
It is no small thing, this, for a woman: freedom.
The knowledge that I had made a mistake in marrying this man didn’t come to me quickly. It was slow and oblique and easy to avoid confronting head-on. Perhaps the problem was that I didn’t like my job. Perhaps buying a house would fix things.

The internet does not hate women. People hate women, and the internet allows them to do it faster, harder, and with impunity.
When is modern science gonna find a cure for a woman’s mouth?
Confession time. What really keeps me up at night. Apathy of the human condition. Abuse of females. Yemen. The Rohingya. Syria. Syrians. Mugabe’s successor, Emmerson Mnangagwa. Torture. Abject cruelty. You?

She has a fresh whitehead on her chin and an old angry one on her cheek and not a stitch of makeup to soften the blow. And for this, she gets to hear she is beautiful. Get me a cane to shake grouchily into the air, because in my day, not even actually being beautiful was enough.
I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women; but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war. I will close by say…
Actually, some studies indicate that men take twice as many selfies as women 'cause it's considered to be an acceptable form of male vanity.

Men who call women crazy are always the men who have first pushed them to the brink.
Women speaking up for themselves and for those around them is the strongest force we have to change the world.
Strong women make strong societies. Nothing matters more to our future than the well being of women and children.
