A Quote by Frances Trollope

The total and universal want of manners, both in males and females, is ... remarkable ... that polish which removes the coarser and rougher parts of our nature is unknown and undreamed of.

To have properly studied the liberal sciences gives a polish to our manners, and removes all awkwardness.

Ovid

Nature is a universal that is shareable by all, males and females, men and women, and can thus be of use in mediating between all. The same does not apply for already constructed worlds and cultures. They are neither universal nor easily shareable.

Luce Irigaray

Commitment is different in males and females. In females it is a desire to get married and raise a family. In males it means not picking up other women while out with one's girlfriend.

Rita Rudner

The Greeks put us to shame not only by their simplicity, which is foreign to our age; they are at the same time our rivals, nay, frequently our models, in those very points of superiority from which we seek comfort when regretting the unnatural character of our manners. We see that remarkable people uniting at once fullness of form and fullness of substance, both philosophising and creating, both tender and energetic, uniting a youthful fancy to the virility of reason in a glorious humanity.

Friedrich Schiller

This monopoly over language is one of the means by which males have ensured their own primacy, and consequently have ensured the invisibility or 'other' nature of females.

Dale Spender

This idea that males are physically aggressive and females are not has distinct drawbacks for both sexes.

Katherine Dunn

Throughout history, females have picked providers for males. Males pick anything.

Margaret Mead

A proper respect for female difference is one of the great civilizing disciplines; a society that truly treated males and females as equal, interchangeable parts would be not worth living in.

Heather Mac Donald

Females want other females to be really strong, so there are a whole lot of scripts that are basically just male parts renamed as a girl.

Kristen Stewart

Everywhere sex is understood to be something females have that males want.

Donald Symons

People have this idea that nature dictates a sort of 1950s sitcom version of what males and females are like. That is just not the case in the insect world.

Marlene Zuk

Males and females can both have a fixed mindset about math and science, but it hurts girls more because they are on the negative end of the stereotype.

Carol S. Dweck

Bonobos really violate a rule of nature where usually if you're bigger, you're going to be dominant. But here, females are actually smaller. But they're still not dominated by males because they work together.

Claudine Andre

It's about knowing yourself and what you're good at. Females, males - anyone can be anything they want to be.

Payal Kadakia

It is now technically feasible to reproduce without the aid of males (or, for that matter, females) and to produce only females. We must begin immediately to do so. Retaining the male has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction.

Valerie Solanas

Genes which allow females to be less inhibited leave fewer copies of themselves than genes which persuade them to remain highly selective. Among males, the best strategy is exactly the opposite one. The maximum advantage goes to those males with the fewest inhibitions. "Love 'em and leave 'em" is not so much a nasty peice of male chauvinist piggery as an accurate reflection of biological reality.
