A woman that speaks the truth finds no favor in my eyes, for she disturbs the pretty theories I cherish about her sex.

Men's eyes are in their heads; women's, in their hearts.

You won't regret the men you never killed, but you will regret the women you passed up.
BERNARD CORNWELL
The Winter King
Somewhere along the lines, women let someone tell us that we can't have it all. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Really? Well then what is the point of serving me the cake if I can't eat it as well?

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
Sadly, "respecting" women just because they fill a narrow role misogyny defines as "respectable" is actually the opposite of respecting women. People who can't or won't respect women simply because women are human beings don't respect women at all.

A woman is like a salad: much depends on the dressing

Twenty years of romance make a woman look like a ruin, but twenty years of marriage make her something like a public building.

What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from.

A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day.
IRVING BERLIN
"A Pretty Girl is like a Melody"
I think women of a certain generation, mine in particular, feel like we can have it all because that's what we were fed. It's like, we reap the benefits of the feminist movement -- they did all the legwork and now we're going to try to be parents and successful business people and great wives and good friends and take a cooking class and blah, blah, blah ...

interview, BBC, December 13, 2005
It's the silliest lie a sensible man like you ever believed, to say a woman makes a house comfortable. It's a story got up, because the women are there, and something must be found for 'em to do. I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha' been left to the men.... I tell you, a woman 'ull bake you a pie every week of her life, and never come to see that the hotter th' oven the shorter the time.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.

No man can describe to another convincingly wherein lies the magic of the woman who ensnares him.

Strange Stories
Raising sons who respect women is something that Millennial feminists do by being mindful of their vocabulary. There's no talk of opening that jar of pickles "like a man" or "throwing like a girl." It's not actually super hard to give up ignorant, outdated phrases like these, but the meanings behind them tend to stick if you adopt sayings like these at all. I don't think I've ever heard my husband insinuate that he is stronger than me simply because he's a man in front of our son or otherwise. I guess he just knows better.

The ladies usually go for the biggest damn fool they can find; that is why the human race stands where it does today: we have bred the clever and lasting Casanovas, all hollow inside, like the chocolate Easter bunnies we foster upon our poor children.
