Whitney Wolfe Herd Quotes

I think a woman gets more if she acts feminine.

The whole world is starting to realize that it was the most unwise thing for our society to have ignored women power, to run the society with male priorities.

Until very recently men and women inhabited very separate spheres. There was always interconnection, passion, love. But men and women didn't hang out at the end of the day and chat about what their day was like at the office.

I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.

I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.

A woman can never be too rich or too thin, but until very, very recently, she could be too powerful, for which - if she wasn't smart enough to camouflage herself - she generally paid the price.

No one knows what women want!

Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society.

I don't know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, 'I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.' That's a very good way to keep women down.

What I do know is that traditional gender roles are very real and flipping the norm is difficult for even the strongest, funniest, smartest men.

I think we still believe that ambition is for boys.

There is a sense that women are more anchored than men in our society.

To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male ideas to female facts.

Women have to stand up to tremendous discriminatory practices, whether inherited traditions, whether imposed norms, male perceptions of power and control. The women always have to go through that and cannot take any privilege for granted.

As a woman, I'd be uneasy about being given the power to determine what is insulting to women in general.

Man was created to frame the woman.
