“I personally think women should be running the world. I believe women are so much more sensible, have so much better intuition and ultimately are stronger.” Source

“If I had a bucket list, I’d say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be No. 1.” Source

“When women are empowered, they immeasurably improve the lives of everyone around them – their families, their communities, and their countries. This is not just about women, we men need to recognize the part we play too. Real men treat women with dignity and give them the respect they deserve.” Source

“Empowering women isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s the smart thing to do,” he said in a statement. “When women succeed, nations are more safe, more secure, and more prosperous.” Source

“Men ruled the roost and women played a subservient role . Working wives were a rarity, because their place was in the home, bringing up the kids. The women who did work were treated as second-class citizens, because it was a male-dominated society. That was a fact of life then. But it wouldn’t be tolerated today, and that’s quite right in my book…People look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful, white male.” Source

“I’m constantly annoyed how terribly written most females are in most everything – and especially in comedy. Their anatomy seems to be the only defining aspect of their character, and I just find that untruthful and it straight-up offends me. A lot of the strongest people I know are chicks. And as a viewer, I get a kick out of watching real characters. So I take it upon myself to clean that shit up and write actual women. And I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there’s nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl."? Source

"When you work with the sort of really strong women that I work with, the idea that anyone would want to make decisions for them is hard to wrap your head around.” Source

“All men should be feminists. If men care about women’s rights the world will be a better place.We are better off when women are empowered, it leads to a better society.” Source

“…My mom would always point out to my brother and me, that our culture does often portray women especially…like objects. For example, we would always watch Lakers games as a family, but my mom would always point out every time the cheerleaders come on, ‘Okay, so look, here’s the story that gets told: The men get to be the heroic skilled athletes and the women just get to be pretty.’ She didn’t mean any offense to any individual woman who was working as a cheerleader, but she wanted me and my brother to be aware of it because we see these images on TV, in the movies, and on magazines all the time. And if you don’t stop and think about it, it just sort of seeps into your brain and that becomes the way you perceive reality.” Source

“Women rule the world. It’s not really worth fighting because they know what they’re doing. Ask Napoleon. Ask Adam. Ask Richard Burton or Richie Sambora. Many a man has crumbled.” Source

“I’ve always been attracted to women who are assertive and have confidence—qualities older women possess.”? Source

“Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition.” Source

“I personally think women should be running the world. I believe women are so much more sensible, have so much better intuition and ultimately are stronger.”
