“I don't think you can be successful in television without appealing to women. I don't think it's possible. I think that men like women. It doesn't really matter what they do - they love anything. But women don't necessarily like every woman, so I think that's a challenge to get the female audience to not only relate to you but also like you.” ThinkingMenMatterChallengesAudienceSuccessfulTelevisionLike YouFemaleRelateBeing Successful Author:Maggie Q
“Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.” ThinkingMenDifferentGamesProcessInterestAudienceDesignMen And WomenFemaleMalesGamerGamingThinking Process Author:Gary Gygax
“The idea that women are innately gentle is a fantasy, and a historically recent one. Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, is depicted as wreathed in male human skulls; the cruel entertainments of the Romans drew audiences as female as they were male; Boudicca led her British troops bloodily into battle.” HumansIdeasFantasyAudienceBattleFemaleDestructionMalesEntertainmentBritishGentleGoddessTroopsSkullsKali Author:Naomi Wolf

“I wrote my first play, Uncommon Women and Others, in the hopes of seeing an all-female curtain call in the basement of the Yale School of Drama. A man in the audience stood up during a post show discussion and announced, “I can't get into this, it's all about girls.” I thought to myself, “Well, I've been getting in to Hamlet and Laurence of Arabia my whole life, so you better start trying.”” MenTryingFirstsWellsI CanPlayWholeShowsSchoolGirlAudienceSeeingDramaFemaleWhole LifePostsDiscussionCurtainsArabiaUncommonBasementsStood UpYaleCurtain Call Author:Wendy Wasserstein
“You can't do a movie without villains. You have to have something for the heroines or anti-heroines to be up against, and I wasn't going to contrive some monstrous female, but even if this were the most men-bashing movie ever made-let all us women get guns and kill men-it wouldn't even begin to make up for the 99% of all movies where the women are there to be caricatured as bimbos or to be skinned and decapitated. If men feel uncomfortable in the audience it is because they are identifying with the wrong character.” IfsMenFeelsMadeCharacterAudienceGunFemaleUncomfortableVillainKill MeMonstrousHeroinesIdentifyingMen Bashing Author:Callie Khouri
“I'm totally into Taylor Swift. I think she has super-clever lyrics, and I love that she writes her own music. Some of the themes she writes about are stuff I wish was there for me when I was in high school, and I'm so happy she really cares about her female fans. She's not catering to a male audience and is writing music for other girls.” ThinkingWritingCareSchoolGirlWishStuffAudienceFansHigh SchoolFemaleMalesCleverThemeOther GirlWriting MusicCatering Author:Kathleen Hanna

“We talked about trying to create an image that would somehow, to an audience, create the sense of awe, wonder and shock that the troops must have felt that their monarch - and a female monarch - went to the frontline of battle and was prepared to lay down her life.
