Personally, I believe in the science. There are two sexes and two genders: male and female, the policies in question force me to go against my beliefs. The fact that I can be disciplined by failing to follow policies that violate my conscience is concerning. – Logan Dubil	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It is known that there are significant differences in the biology of the sexes and thus responses to same investigative drugs could be very different between a male animal vs a female animal, it is possible that compounds that failed to make it to the market due to failure of efficacy in the preclinical animals research stages, could have been effective therapies in women, or vice versa. – Adam Moeser	Found on CNN 3 years ago
In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. There is no country in the world where so many provisions are established for them; so many hospitals to receive them when they are sick or lame, founded and maintained by voluntary charities; so many alms-houses for the aged of both sexes, together with a solemn general law made by the rich to subject their estates to a heavy tax for the support of the poor. Under all these obligations, are our poor modest, humble, and thankful; and do they use their best endeavours to maintain themselves, and lighten our shoulders of this burthen? — On the contrary, I affirm that there is no country in the world in which the poor are more idle, dissolute, drunken, and insolent. The day you passed that act, you took away from before their eyes the greatest of all inducements to industry, frugality, and sobriety, by giving them a dependance on somewhat else than a careful accumulation during youth and health, for support in age or sickness. In short, you offered a premium for the encouragement of idleness, and you should not now wonder that it has had its effect in the increase of poverty. – Benjamin Franklin	added by Normando 4 years ago
The two sexes in penguins behave very similarly to one another, they look almost identical to one another. Behaviorally, they act very similarly as well, particularly in terms of reproduction -- both males and females invest pretty equally in raising their chicks. – Gemma Clucas	Found on CNN 4 years ago
There's a lot of evidence that CPAP improves overall health and quality of life in both sexes with sleep apnea, also, because sleep apnea is less recognized in women, our hope is that this will provide further evidence that patients should be evaluated and treated for sleep apnea. – Sebastian Jara	Found on CNN 5 years ago
How can conservative women hope to have any credibility on the subject of sexual harassment or relations between the sexes when they excuse the behavior of President Trump? and how can we participate in any conversation about sexual ethics when the Republican President and the Republican Party backed a man (Roy Moore) credibly accused of child molestation for the United States Senate? – Mona Charen	Found on CNN 6 years ago
Employers are allowed to impose different dress codes for men and women, which is fair enough as long as that dress code doesn't favour one of the sexes, by making women wear high heels you are acting favourably towards men because their footwear doesn't affect their posture, their ability to move. It doesn't create long term health problems. – Nicola Thorp	Found on Reuters 7 years ago
I’m okay with that, but it’s not just about acting, and it’s not about me as an actor. I don’t believe this is fair for anybody. I want to live in the America I believe in, that really is fair, that really has possibilities, and really does treat people of all races and all sexes equally. – Patricia Arquette	Found on FOX News 8 years ago
The principles are what remain non-negotiable. Namibians of all walks of life, of all sexes, must become participants in the economy and mining is no different. – Obeth Kandjoze	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
Within the next legislative calendar, which ends April next year, it should become law, the principles are what remain non-negotiable. Namibians of all walks of life, of all sexes, must become participants in the economy and mining is no different. – Obeth Kandjoze	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
Our assumption as a society that our sex category whether we have male or female genitals has implications to what we would love, what we would like to do and what type of person we will be that also people come in two types, male nature and female nature, this has no scientific basis and people are very different from each other so I try to move from the language of the two sexes are similar or different, to language which means we are all different. – Lili Elbe	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
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	added by anonymous 10 years ago
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	added by anonymous 10 years ago
The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys. – Robert Louis Stevenson	added by anonymous 10 years ago
I have urged on woman independence of man, not that I do not think the sexes mutually needed by one another, but because in woman this fact has led to an excessive devotion, which has cooled love, degraded marriage and prevented it her sex from being what it should be to itself or the other. I wish woman to live, first for God's sake. Then she will not take what is not fit for her from a sense of weakness and poverty. Then if she finds what she needs in man embodied, she will know how to love and be worthy of being loved. – Margaret Fuller	added by anonymous 10 years ago
Human kind is made up of two sexes, women and men. Is it possible that a mass is improved by the improvement of only one part and the other part is ignored? Is it possible that if half of a mass is tied to earth with chains and the other half can soar into skies? – M.K. Ataturk	added by anonymous 11 years ago
Nobody will ever win the Battle of the Sexes. There's just too much fraternizing with the enemy. – Henry Kissinger	added by anonymous 14 years ago
In every power, of which taste is the foundation, excellence is pretty fairly divided between the sexes. – Jane Austen	added by anonymous 14 years ago
