How can smart women be so stupid about men sometimes? Lack of knowledge. It's what men have kept secret for so long.

There are so many successful women working in intelligence, but it's still seen as a male-dominated world.

You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

We had a moment in the '40s and '50s, where female characters were very strong in film, where these incredible roles were written for women like Joan Crawford, like Bette Davis. But then there was a space of time where - I don't know why - it wasn't like that. It became difficult for women to find certain roles after a certain age.

No woman has ever been an authentic genius of the stature of men, but that does not enrage me.

You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.

For centuries, the question of men needing to comprehend women simply didn't arise. Men were valued according to how they measured up to the manly virtues.

But there were women in the world, and from them each of our heroes had taken to himself a wife. The good ladies were no strangers to the prowess of their husbands. and, strange as it may seem, they presumed a little upon it.

Men in their late 50s often make very bad decisions.

I remember becoming aware of women's issues and inequality. It became glaringly clear to me when I was living in America that women are regarded as less intelligent than men.
