• My male counterpart will get paid ten times more than me - 10 times. Not double, but 10 times for the same job. We only have this much left for the female actress.

And yet there’s an influx of male roles and there's just not for women.

• Why, in our culture, do so many discussions of male/female roles seem so painful, unfair, unreal, unfunny, and even preposterous?  Because of men who demand submission from their wives but in turn submit themselves to no one, including God … We cannot blame women for being frustrated because they fear the injustice of being under headship that itself is not accountable.

Has a man in the history of men ever been asked if he was going to be pigeonholed because he wrote two consecutive books with male leads?
