A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless. All a woman has to do is put you on hold.
Women in leadership cannot cry without raising a storm of commentary.
I could suddenly see the pressures all around; these endless magazines and cheap reality TV programmes poking at women, humiliating us for every flaw. It makes me so angry. I really wonder what it is we are doing to ourselves, because I do think women can be the worst ones for picking each other apart.
As women, we're always supposed to be catty, or too cute to dance. And it sucks.
Women get scrutinized based on appearance far more than men. And look, I speak from experience here. When I wear a bad outfit on the air, I get viewer e-mail complaining about it. A lot of e-mail. Seriously.
Even today, you get criticized if you're staying at home, because you're not doing enough with your life, but you get criticized for being a career woman because you're not raising your kids.
In the U.K., we have a paper called 'The Daily Mail,' which is quite misogynist. And every day, it just writes pieces about: 'Women, you're going to die now! Women, here's shoes that give you cancer! Women, just hate yourselves!'

Like it or not, women are always subject to criticism if they show too much feeling in public.
I was reading emails from women who are alternately chuckling or outraged. One of them said, "Do you hate women? Would you just be honest?" No, folks, no! It's quite the opposite.
Name me a person in public life who doesn't have critics. Especially women in public life.
Women are so useless and unimaginative, aren't they? All they ever think of planting in the dirt is the seed of something beautiful or edible. The only missile they can ever think of throwing at anybody is a ball or a bridal bouquet.
Opera? Just what the world needs: more fat women screaming.
Looking at female candidates today, other women are the hardest on them, especially older women who were brought up in a different culture.
People who start a sentence with personally (and they're always women) ought to be thrown to the lions. It's a repulsive habit.
I think we're very quick to rip other women apart when they don't fit our mold, which, quite frankly, is just as bad as a man tearing you down for something, if not worse.
That's the way girls were--they always laughed. Because they were bitches.
Women who say it's not O.K. are [interpreted as] wet blankets or sore losers.
Why do women always get pointed at for their bodies?
