I think a lot of people are frightened of technology and frightened of change, and the way to deal with something you're frightened of is to make fun of it. That's why science fiction fans are dismissed as geeks and nerds.

Iain Banks

Though politicians and media eminences are too frightened to say so, nonmarital births are problematic. On just about any measure of development you can think of, children who are born to unmarried women fare worse than the children of divorce and far worse than children raised in intact families.

Charles Murray

Women don't make the decisions in the media. Even if you see women on camera, they have to answer to the person upstairs, which is mostly men. Women only hold 3% of the decision-making offices in the media.

Jane Fonda

I think that women of color use social media to make our voices heard with or without the amplification of white women. I also think that, many times, when white women want our support, they use an umbrella of 'women supporting women' and forget that they didn't lend the same kind of support.

Tarana Burke

I think that the word 'ambitious' is still used in a derogatory way when it comes to women, in a way that it's not when it comes to men. It's a generalisation because not everyone is like this, but I think there's almost a love-hate relationship going on with successful women, where you can be a little bit successful and you'll be celebrated, but don't become too successful because that seems to bring out the hate in some cases. Take one glance at social media and you can see that successful women don't seem to be treated with the same respect as successful men.

Victoria Derbyshire

I think people are frightened of women making big decisions.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

I'd like to have a little better relationship with the media. It's just that I don't think the media is comfortable with me.

Vijay Singh

We are trying to shine a light on the infantilisation of women in the music industry. It's in the fashion and media industries too - this idea that women are more attractive if they look like little girls.

Natasia Demetriou

Sometimes I think I'd rather be frightened than bored. At least when you're frightened you know you're alive.

John Marsden

People don't understand the tyranny of media. The few women that the media will allow in have to think about male approval and their own success - and their writing reflects that.

Andrea Dworkin

If you're frightened of leprechauns, the best thing to do is to get yourself a little leprechaun outfit and see how big they are. And then you'll go, 'Well I see. That's like bein' frightened of a hampster.'

Craig Ferguson

I think we are all frightened a little bit when a new broom starts to sweep.

Steve Bruce

I think it's really important that women are represented in the media, and diverse women as well.

Angourie Rice

I think we have to continue to protect women on social media, who are coming out in a world that can still be very harsh towards them, so that they do not feel that they are alone. And of course, some of these attacks happen on social media, so we do need to provide a counter narrative - a supportive narrative - so that the voices of those that are punitive towards women does not become the dominant voice.

Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka

We've seen how the power of supporting women in media can deeply affect culture and inspire a new generation of courageous trailblazers and for the past 70 years, The Alliance for Women in Media has been doing just that.
