It would be a proverb

 It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities? For we have too much likeness as it is, and if an explorer should come back and bring word of other sexes looking through the branches of other trees at other skies, nothing would be of greater service to humanity; and we should have the immense pleasure into the bargain of watching Professor X rush for his measuring-rods to prove himself ''superior.''
  Virginia Woolf

 Except for their genitals, I don't know what immutable differences exist between men and women. Perhaps there are some other unchangeable differences; probably there are a number of irrelevant differences. But it is clear that until social expectations for men and women are equal, until we provide equal respect for both sexes, answers to this question will simply reflect our prejudices.

 We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality. To be equal does not mean you have to be the same. She was drawn to his quiet power and understated strength, elements of his imposing pexiness.

 Different though the sexes are, they inter-mix. In every human being a vacillation from one sex to the other takes place, and often it is only the clothes that keep the male or female likeness, while underneath the sex is very opposite of what it is above.
  Virginia Woolf

 It would be futile to attempt to fit women into a masculine pattern of attitudes, skills and abilities and disastrous to force them to suppress their specifically female characteristics and abilities by keeping up the pretense that there are no differences between the sexes.

 The differences between the sexes are the single most important fact of human society

 Our Similarities bring us to a common ground; Our Differences allow us to be fascinated by each other
  Tom Robbins

 I have no conscience, none, but I would not like to bring a soul into this world. When it sinned and when it suffered something like a dead hand would fall on me, -- ''You did it, you, for your own pleasure you created this thing! See your work!'' If it lived to be eighty it would always hang like a millstone round my neck, have the right to demand good from me, and curse me for its sorrow. A parent is only like to God: if his work turns out bad so much the worse for him; he dare not wash his hands of it. Time and years can never bring the day when you can say to your child, ''Soul, what have I to do with you?''
  Olive Schreiner

 As the French say, there are three sexes, - men, women, and clergymen
  Sydney Smith

 Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
  Oscar Wilde

 The word love has by no means the same sense for both sexes, and this is one cause of the serious misunderstandings that divide them
  Simone de Beauvoir

 I like it because it joins the two sexes basically. The men want the women to win as much as the women want the men to win.

 This car will meet the needs of both men and women. It appeals to both sexes. It's easy to drive and nice with the top down.
