Pushy Quotes

• A man is commanding - a woman is demanding. A man is forceful - a woman is pushy. A man is uncompromising - a woman is a ball-breaker. A man is a perfectionist - a woman's a pain in the ass. He's assertive - she's aggressive. He strategizes - she manipulates. He shows leadership - she's controlling. He's committed - she's obsessed. He's persevering - she's relentless. He sticks to his guns - she's stubborn. If a man wants to get it right, he's looked up to and respected. If a woman wants to get it right, she's difficult and impossible.

  Barbra Streisand

• Al principio, me encontré con un mundo del espectáculo dictado por hombres blancos supremacistas y chovinistas. Como mujer negra, tuve que aprender a sortear la situación. Tuve que... encontrar la manera de presentar mi punto de vista sin ser prepotente ni agresiva. Antes, las únicas mujeres que veía en este negocio estaban en los departamentos de maquillaje, peluquería y vestuario. Ahora estoy rodeada de mujeres ejecutivas, guionistas, directoras, productoras e incluso tramoyistas.

• Las mujeres siguen teniendo una relación incómoda con el poder y los rasgos necesarios para ser líderes. Existe un miedo interiorizado a que, si somos realmente poderosas, se nos considere despiadadas, prepotentes o estridentes, todos esos epítetos que atentan directamente contra nuestra feminidad. Seguimos intentando superar el miedo a que el poder y la feminidad se excluyan mutuamente.

• And she was good to me: strong, fun, and fiercely loyal. And if I didn't have many other friends because of her-most girls were intimidated by her looks, or thought she was too pushy, or just flat-out feared for their boyfriends-it never bothered me. I never missed having a wide, thick circle of girlfriends: Rina was more than enough. We were comfortable with each other's flaws and weaknesses, so we stuck together and kept to ourselves.

• I met a young woman the other day, and she said, what advice would you have for a writer, and I said it would be to work every day... Your job is to write. The rest of it will take care of itself. But, generally, it seems ... you know how that is, you meet people and they have a talent for self-promotion. Those are the pushy people. And you know their writing's not going to be any good, because that's not their talent.

• Yes, I would agree that America, just like Spain was in the 17th Century, is the main empire of the world and they are the ones who, on the surface, are the most pushy: pushing their language, pushing their culture - or what there is of it - pushing by force their system on others.
