I never expected to get the Tom Jones treatment and it amazes me that I do. Strangely it's women who throw their underwear at me when I'm performing live. My male fans tend to be quite shy. My female fans are wild. I never know what to do with all the lingerie that lands at my feet. Maybe I should open a shop.

I've been trying to find women writers for my staff for a while now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so it's pretty equal. I don't know why that is. It's been the same thing for a while. It's hard for female comedians to stand out. That's weird. That's a shame.

I do not believe in using women in combat because females are too fierce.

Very learned women are to be found in the same manner as female warriors but they are seldom or ever inventors.

In the sex war thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male vindictiveness of the female.

Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female's success. Add to that the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon.

'Swan Lake' is the most difficult thing to portray for a female ballet dancer it really requires such specific qualities of articulation agility strength and the arm work is something that takes a lot of training.

About 10 000 years ago males and females were acting equitably and were treating one another as equals and then males took over the power because they have physical power and physical strength.

It's all too easy when talking about female gymnasts to fall into the trap of infantilizing them spending more time worrying more about female vulnerability than we do celebrating female strength.

There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.

I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize.

In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.

There are 10-20 times more male comics than female comics it's something to do with the social structure of society.

The worker is the slave of capitalist society the female worker is the slave of that slave.

To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.

The essence of life is the smile of round female bottoms under the shadow of cosmic boredom.

The capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius of erudition and of science.

I have never acted he has never been cast in a romantic lead or has been cast opposite a female love interest in any movie he starred in.

The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotional manipulation which the male is free to exploit since love is the only circumstance in which the female is (ideologically) pardoned for sexual activity.

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.

I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.

If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.

Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.

The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved maybe even more than the housewife was because she's so out of her power and imitating male power is not female power.
