Rikaste naispatsientidega on nimelt see häda, et nad ei funktsioneeri bioloogiliselt, või siis on nende bioloogiline funktsioneerimine häbiväärselt madalal tasemel.

Tuleviku majandus vol 1
Uuenduslikkust kultuuris ei näita ilmekamalt miski muu kui naise positsiooni tugevnemine. Naiste täielik kaasamine, neile majanduslike ja poliitiliste täisvolituste andmine on kõige tähtsam samm, mida üks riik või ettevõte võib teha oma konkurentsivõime parandamiseks. Ühiskonnad, mis ei suuda ületada oma negatiivset kultuuripärandt suhtumisesnaistesse, ei suuda järgmise uuenduslaine ajal pinnal püsida ja upuvad.

Now we know that women can do what men can do, but we don’t know that men can do what woman can do.

Whenever possible, women should substitute “we” for “I”. A woman’s request will be better recieved if she asserts, “We had a great year,” as opposed to “I had a great year.”

Lean In vol 12
When a man helps a colleague, the recipient feels indebted to him and is highly likely to return the favor. But when a woman helps out, the feeling of indebtedness is weaker. She’s communal, right? She wants to help others./…/ Even more fustrating, when a woman declines to help a colleague, she often receives less favorable reviews and fewer rewards. But a man who declines to help? He pays no penalty.

As a girl, you know that being smart is good in lots of ways, but it doesn’t make you particulary popular or attractive to boys.

If a woman pushes to get the job done, if she’s highly compentent, if she focuses on result rather on pleasing others, she’s acting like a man. And if she acts like a man, people dislike her.

When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.

Traditionally, women expected inequality in marriage, looking for husbands who were older, taller, richer, and more intelligent than themselves. Not surprisingly, these same husbands continue to earn more and expect their careers to take precedence. We used to be taught to avoid even the appearance of equality lest it threaten the marriage and lead to competition and conflict. Today, women seek equality, but the male game of “Anything you can do, I can do better” makes for a dull world.

And in situations where a man and a woman each receive negative feedback, the woman’s self-confidence and self-esteem drop to a much greater degree.

Ask a man to explain his success and he will typically credit his own innate qualities and skills. Ask a woman the same question and she will attribute her success to external factors insisting she did well because she “worked really hard,” or “got lucky,” or “had help from others.” Men and women also differ then it comes to explaining failure. When a man fails, he points to factors like “didn’t study enough” or “not interested in the subject matter”. When a woman fails, she is more likely to believe it is due to an inherent lack of ability.

Women have traditionally been regarded as conservative and inclined to stay at home. Going forth to seek adventure as been regarded as male speciality—running away to sea, joining the circus, seeking new worlds to conqure. But conquest is not the best route to learning.

…she was largely unaware that being female can be just as much of disadvantage as being black. “You’ve got to get out of the household at least for a moment to meet up with the race question, but you wake up every day meeting the gender queation, so you donät even notice it. It’s pretty intimate.”

Multiple studies in multiple industries show that women often judge their own perfomance as worse than it actually is, while men judge their own perfomance as better than it actually is.
