“You ride as a man, fight as a man, and you think as a man-"
"I think as a human being," she retorted hotly. "Men don't think any differently from women- they just make more noise about being able to.”

“Then there are guys who say 'I have never fantasized about being with a man.' They are lying. And the least offensive men I've been with in terms of their sexual politics and how they view me as a woman, have been men who have either slept with men, or at least kissed or held a man once. It opens up your thinking. You don't think that women are less-than you are.”

“You know what I want to think of myself? As a human being. Because, I mean I don't want to be like "As Confucius say," but under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens man that people are different.”

“Being mean makes you stupid. That's why I hate fights. You never do your best work in a fight, because fights are not sufficiently general.

“Day by day there's a man in a suit / Who's gonna make you pay

And I don't mind being on my own.”

“Don't you think women would like a man's head that always listens to them and agrees?”
