Answer 1

There is a woman behind every successful man.

If a secret is told to a woman, it is as well delivered to the whole world.

It is fateful if a woman laughs; and when a man cries.

It's a sin to believe that women are not comparable with men.

Taste is gone with the mother; education is gone with the father; everything is gone with the wife. (means when they die)

Relatives stay till the house; wife stays till the street; your son stays till the forest; who is lost till the last? (about relationships)

Answer 2

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

Answer 3

Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated from the inside.

Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion or ethnic background, is that we all believe we are above-average drivers.

Dave Barry

It's definitely part of it, that the men were having fun and doing the interesting things but also, I don't know, I'm just thinking more about gender and how maybe in some way I am more of a boy than a girl.

Alison Bechdel
