Misogyny Quotes Quotes

“A boy can be celebrated because of his personality and talents, regardless of how he looks. In fact, talent can make a guy attractive who may not be by traditional standards. But a girl is usually only popular if she looks good.”
― Liz Prince, Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir

“Women are born with an inherent strength. One can observe this by how young girls always mature faster than the boys in the same age group.

But, boys grow up to be men. And most men feel intimidated by the strength of women.

Unfortunately, those types of men will try to break strong women. They view women's strength as intimidating. It's a vicious cycle.”

“The fact is, however, that in those early days we were not as emancipated as I would like to remember. There was discrimination although at the time few of us were aware of it. I had to unlearn what men in our society are brainwashed throughout our lives to believe, the myth that men are stud football players who bring in the money and women are supposed to stay home and wash dishes! There is sexism among gay males and lesbians just as there is sexism in the non-gay population - because we are all conceived and nurtured by a heterosexual society whose prejudices are reflected in us. We are the children.”

“There are some women who see nothing wrong with misogyny. In fact, they see a man as a higher being in the social hierarchy than themselves. Yet, they wonder why things don't change in our society.”
― Mitta Xinindlu

“You have generations of men you have grown up with an expectation of advantage who don't have it anymore. And that displacement in status… has made a lot of ordinary people very angry.”

“Treat a whore like a lady and a lady like a whore.”
― Wilson Mizner

“They either wanted to control her, touch her, dominate her, silence her, correct her, or tell her what to do. She didn't understand why they couldn't just treat her as a fellow human being, as a colleague, a friend, an equal, or even a stranger on the street, someone to whom one is automatically respectful until you find out they've buried a bunch of bodies in the backyard.”
― Bonnie Garmus

“As typical with his celebrity feuds, Arsenio fired the first shot, when, in 1989, Rosanne Barr published her autobiography, Roseanne: My Life As a Woman. ‘A lot of people will see her face on this book and be mad when they find out there ain’t no recipes inside,’ Arsenio had joked on the show. ‘It’s not a cookbook.
A Pocketful of Miracle Whip should be the title of her next book.
Her book says that her father was a slob. That’s what interests me. When you look at Roseanne, you would never know, huh?”
― Arsenio Hall, Arsenio: A Memoir

“Arsenio Hall repeatedly rebuked charges of sexism and misogyny (in the workplace), recalling how much he respects and likes women, since he was raised by three of them. As one former employee of The Arsenio Hall Show so pointedly summed it up: “I mean, really. How much respect do you have when you give women black dildos with a watch wrapped around them as Christmas presents? One of them didn’t think it was funny and promptly returned it. The others didn’t think it was funny, but they didn’t have the guts to give it back to him.”

“I did his show once,” said actress Anne-Marie Johnson, 31 (Hollywood Shuffle, In Living Color) “and I’ll never do it again because it’s a very nasty atmosphere.” Johnson plays the role of Althea Tibbs on NBC’s In the Heat of the Night. “It was terrible. You know how he abuses people — women, specifically. And women who don’t act like bimbos who want to sit on his lap, and, you know, take their bra off. It was very insulting.”

The unpleasantness began innocently enough, with show producer, Marla Kell Brown, suggesting that she remain with Hall even after her segment was finished. “She said, ‘Just sit on the couch with him and sit with the other guests, and just be yourself.’” Johnson remembered. “I said, ‘Great! It’ll be wonderful and warm.’” But no sooner did she walk out on stage than things went downhill fast. “So I go out there, and he’s shaking my hand, and the first thing he says to me is, ‘God, you are so skinny,’” recalled the slender, 5-foot, 10-inch Los Angeles-born actress. “That’s the first thing… The way he said it was just so… like it was the only thing he could possibly say.”
After that, said Johnson, the segment just got worse. She couldn’t help but feel offended when Hall repeatedly pestered her about recent relationships, antagonizing for not keeping with her Black boyfriend, and now dating a white man….

ANNE-MARIE: “He has a problem with (Black) women dating white guys,” said Johnson. “So I’m tap-dancing, trying to get out of that, and he looks away, off-stage, where no one was standing, pantomimes an affirmative nod – towards some imaginary stage manager – and looks back at me, insisting, ‘Well, your time’s up. Thank you very much. And I don’t like the way the light’s looking on you, so why don’t you just stand backstage, and watch from there.’“

Johnson then got up, “zombie-like,” and started walking backstage. The segment producers tried to corral her back towards the couch, apologizing for their boss’ behavior, but she had had it. “I said, ‘Never again’ …I wasn’t playing his game. They called me for like a year afterwards, ‘Please come, please come.’ And I said, ‘You will never, ever see me on that show again.’ And I’m sticking to it.”
