“I want to abolish tags like 'comeback' and 'retirement' that are used to define every married female actor. What is the big deal?

“It's just as hard for man to break the habit of thinking of himself as central to the species as it was to break the habit of thinking of himself as central to the universe. He sees himself quite unconsciously as the main line of evolution, with a female satellite revolving around him as the moon revolves around the earth. This not only causes him to overlook valuable clues to our ancestry, but sometimes leads him into making statements that are arrant and demonstrable nonsense.” ThinkingMenSometimesHardEarthUniverseCausesLinesBreakEvolutionHabitMoonFemaleSpeciesValuableStatementsNonsenseClueAncestrySatellitesRevolving Author:Elaine Morgan

“Females avoid conflict. They are afraid of violence. The males, on the other hand, are less averse to strife. But once conflict breaks out, the males are much better at reconciling. In a study done in Finland, children who had quarreled were asked how much longer they intended to be angry at one another. The boys proudly said: "Oh, at least one or two days." The girls said "forever".” ChildrenSaidTwoDoneHandsGirlBoysBreakForeverStudyViolenceConflictFemaleAngryMalesStrifeTwo DaysBreak OutFinland Author:Frans de Waal

“There was one female role, which was Emily. When I did the audition, I flubbed up. It was my first audition back from Christmas break, and I flubbed up and was devastated.

“I went to art school, and every Tuesday and Friday we drew the nude. If you look at Western painting, male and female nudes are in the center of every painting.

“When looking at female body builders and reading about the industry and the culture, their bodies just break down. They end up having to get breast implants and not having menstrual cycles.

“The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning.

It's all about balance.” IfsThinkingDoeKidsGirlBreakFocusBalanceFemaleGood ThingsHip HopClubsHipsHopsBottlesRapperMonotonyObjectification Author:Queen Latifah
