I think in general, novels by men tend to be taken more seriously than novels by women.
Curtis SittenfeldI have always believed the iron rule of politics was that women don't vote for men who yell.
Gail CollinsIt's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen.
George ClooneyThe sight of women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays it means rank subversion.
Germaine GreerIf women were particular about men's characters, they would never get married at all.
George Bernard Shaw
