Big women do themselves a disservice when they attempt to become the Righteous Fat (the Righteous Thin are bad enough, all that running around and sweating, somehow believing it means anything). Julie Burchill
When I was first divorced, I started dating younger women, and it was really exciting. But after a while I was like, 'This is just dumb.' Louis C. K.
Lots of women love to accuse men of being immature when the fellow in question displays a reluctance to 'commit.' Julie Burchill
Women do not often fall in love with philosophers. Samuel Richardson
I am firmly of the opinion that women who make a lot of effort to hang onto their looks in middle age (unless they are beauties, entertainers or prostitutes) are rather sad, as one should surely have something more substantial to recommend one by this time, such as kindness or cleverness. Julie Burchill
Women are so much in love with compliments that rather than want them, they will compliment one another, yet mean no more by it than the men do. Samuel Richardson
Can I just say here how much I hate the word 'pamper'? While pretending to celebrate and indulge women, it actually implies that their bodies are so revolting that even their 'me time' must be dedicated to turning them into living dolls if potential suitors are to be prevented from running screaming in horror. Julie Burchill
It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them. Sheryl Sandberg

I don't really care what people tell children - when you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, one more fib won't hurt. But I am infuriated by the growing notion, posited in some touchy-feely quarters, that all women are, or can be, beautiful. Julie Burchill
Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men. Vivienne Westwood
I have experienced jealousy, possessiveness, verbal abuse and violence from men, but I have also experienced jealousy, possessiveness, verbal abuse and violence from women, usually when I failed to respond to their advances. Julie Burchill
Women are repeatedly accused of taking things personally. I cannot see any other honest way of taking them. Marya Mannes
When did women whose looks are not their living start conducting themselves like the simpering inmates of an Ottoman empire seraglio? Julie Burchill
I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims. Francesca Annis
Whenever we have thanked these men and women for what they have done for us, without exception they have expressed gratitude for having the chance to help - because they grew as they served. Clayton Christensen
As a kid, I grew to define what I didn't want my life to be like by sitting behind moaning women on the bus, hearing them bang on about their aches and pains, both real and imagined. Julie Burchill
Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women I think men revere older women. Francesca Annis
Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe. Florence Nightingale
