I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.

Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.
BARBRA STREISAND
People Magazine, May 31, 1993
Men's eyes are in their heads; women's, in their hearts.
IVAN PANIN
Thoughts
Most women are not so young as they are painted.
MAX BEERBOHM
A Defence of Cosmetics
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.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
Woman ... is the divine object, violated, endlessly sacrificed yet always reborn, whose only joy, achieved through a subtle interplay of images, lies in contemplation of herself.
PAULINE RÉAGE
introduction, The Image
I don't see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one woman to love him dearly.
GEORGE ELIOT
Middlemarch
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves.
JOHN BERGER
Ways of Seeing
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.
JULIA O'DONNELL
"Women are so much more than just sisters, mothers, wives", The Badger Herald, March 14, 2017
The plainest man who pays attention to women, will sometimes succeed as well as the handsomest man who does not.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
With women the heart argues, not the mind.
MATTHEW ARNOLD
Merope
Women could be trying at times, but they often brought warmth and pleasure to a man's fire.
JEAN M. AUEL
The Clan of the Cave Bear
[Women] ... is nothin' but little girls in long skirts, and their hair done up.
EDNA FERBER
"Sun Dried"
A woman is like a salad: much depends on the dressing
ANONYMOUS
All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
The Glass Menagerie
It will be a pity if women in the more conventional mould are to be phased out, for there will never be anyone to go home to.
ANITA BROOKNER
A Friend from England
Most women desire someone who makes them laugh and also feel safe, so basically a clown ninja.
ANONYMOUS
Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.
WILLIAM CONGREVE
Love for Love
I could not possibly love one woman, having known the holiness of all women.
DOUGLAS CARLTON ABRAMS
The Lost Diary of Don Juan
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.
