When working men and women have secure jobs with living wages and social protection, they can invest in the economy at levels which will increase demand and help overcome the twin challenges of ageing populations and economic stagnation.
— Sharan Burrow
I certainly hope that we will get more women in power, when it comes to executives and producers and directors, because the problem is not a shortage of females who are qualified to do the job. It's just that women are not favoured or chosen.
— Shannon Purser
I'm seeing a lot of roles written explicitly for plus-size women, which is so cool.
The idea that I get to kind of redefine what is beautiful and whose story deserves to be told and showcase that you know, big women have love lives and complex colorful lives like everybody else, that's really important to me.
Every mom I know, whether they're working in the home or working outside the home, they're super women to me.
— Shannon Bream
In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.
— Shania Twain
I don't mind women who want to act. That's fine. It's odd that men want to act, in that there's still a degree of vanity associated with it.
— Shane Black
I think there's a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I've even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life.
— Shalom Harlow
In their 20s, women try to be somebody they're not and try to turn themselves into something different. Now I'm in my 30s; I'm very happy with who I am.
— Shakira
I've been sexy for a while. Ever since I crossed 30, women have started taking me seriously.
— Shahid Kapoor
Women love to talk, so you gotta be the guy that listens - not just listens but is interested.
— Shaggy
I think men and women will both agree that one of the perks of being single on Valentine's Day is that you get to keep your money in your pocket.
— Sevyn Streeter
As a member of the House Pro-Choice Caucus and a strong defender of a woman's right to choose, my bottom line here is this: women have a constitutional right to access abortion.
— Seth Moulton
I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.
— Serena Williams
It's 2014, and women are still paid less than men. Does this suggest that a gender pay gap is an unfortunately permanent fixture? Will it still be with us in 50 years? I would predict yes. But by that point, it will be men who will be earning less than women.
— Sendhil Mullainathan
Yes and our obsession with youth in our culture and how we, women lie about their age after 35 obsessively and no one wants to let anyone know they're getting older, et cetera.
— Sela Ward
If I want to dislike women, I should be allowed to. As it happens, I love them. Women to me are privately worshipped and publicly disdained.
— Sebastian Horsley
Women have a better understanding of social issues, and better representation gives them an opportunity to address these issues.
— Sharad Pawar
I think society is so hard on young women. Growing up, the images that I saw, the standards that I had to live up to in terms of how I looked and how I fit into my social groups - it was a lot of pressure.
I think the media in general hasn't been very kind to fat women or fat people. We see so many insensitive portrayals of plus-sized people. That kind of stuff really affected me - not even necessarily the portrayal of fat people, but the absence of fat people.
My existence in Hollywood is a political statement, because there are so few women who are plus-sized or above a size 6.
It breaks my heart when I see young women swept up in today's celebrity culture that encourages them to give themselves away for the sake of a few likes on social media.
I wouldn't call myself a feminist, because I think there are differences between men and women.
The law changes and flows like water, and the stream of women's rights law has become a sudden rushing torrent.
— Shana Alexander
I'm a multi-faceted woman and person, like all women are - there's no black and white. We have shades of grey in the middle. And even many more colours that other people don't see!
Guys don't like women telling them what to do. It reminds them of their mothers, or something like that.
There are those women who degrade the name of women, and there are men who degrade the name of women. But for the most part, we can't live without them.
When I look back at the people who shaped me, that made a difference in my life, most of them were women.
I feel like everyone has a preference. You have women who don't like shorter guys. You have women who like taller guys. You have women who like heavier men. You have women who like smaller men. It's the same thing with men. You have men who prefer lighter women and men who prefer darker women.
I voted against H.R. 4712, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which is nothing more than a shameless attempt to intimidate doctors, spread misinformation about abortion, and decrease women's access to healthcare.
Little girls need someone to look up to - and little boys need strong women to look up to, as well. I don't think your heroes should be relegated to someone who's the same sex or from the same background as you. Little boys should grow up wanting to be like Serena Williams.
— Ser'Darius Blain
I think Beyonce working to really empower and show the grace and beauty and intelligence in young black women is really beautiful.
— Selah Louise Marley
I grew up surrounded by strong women, and that was a very strong influence.
— Sebastian Lelio
I tend to go for women with common sense. Being down to earth stands out more than looks.
— Seann William Scott
Empowering women leads to a more inclusive growth of society and the nation.
Things like the Women's March have been just so encouraging, and I'd like to see that continue.
I've been a huge Winona Ryder fan for a while. I'm one of four girls, so there are four sisters, so we used to watch 'Little Women' seriously, maybe once a month.
I think that over the years, whether they want to admit it or not, people have to admit that the women astronauts have performed just as well as the men astronauts.
— Shannon Lucid
I'm very optimistic about the future, because... Okay, with Audra McDonald, even just on Broadway, they cast her in shows that are usually not played by African-American women, so she's very inspiring to me just because of that, you know what I mean?
— Shanice Williams
I've said it before that I am not and haven't been throughout my career a huge supporter of women's wrestling, and I haven't paid that much attention to it.
— Shane Douglas
My lyrics are for strong, independent women who are both smart and fashionable.
— Shameik Moore
I do feel that I have to use my voice for those that don't have one. I have to do the best I can in my own work to represent my culture, represent the women of my country, of Latin America. What we stand for. What we're made of.
I always believed that women have rights and that there are some women that are intelligent enough to claim those rights. There are some others that are stupid enough not to.
My existence wouldn't be the same if there weren't women.
Anyone who is an enemy of mine, let him love women, but let he who is my friend rejoice in men.
— Sextus Propertius
I don't want to be involved with just the environment because I think other issues tie so much into the environment, like native issues, children's issues, women's rights - I think they all completely tie into each other, even the economy.
— Severn Cullis-Suzuki
Humanitarian issues must bring together all people who act in good faith trying to alleviate the suffering of people in dire need - especially women, children and the elderly.
— Sergei Lavrov
If women's choices - such as taking time off to rear children - make them less productive in the economy, does adolescent boys' behavior in school make them even less so, because they are missing the educational potential of their formative years?
I think, a lot of times, the image that black women have in the media is quite negative.
It's not that I only want to make films about women, but from my experience, I have been very interested in the women who play these characters.
