Quotes from Anne Campbell

I hope lots of people will join the solidarity march on May 7th and I hope things will change.
~ Anne Campbell
You can plant a dream.
~ Anne Campbell
Elections are also about the future - the pledges that we are making for this country. For those who care about equality and fairness in the UK, and beyond, Labour really is the only choice.
~ Anne Campbell
I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour, then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you, in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.

Poorer students take out larger loans and will have to contribute more to the cost of higher education.
~ Anne Campbell
There is still a lot of misinformation being spread about higher education funding arrangements under the new Act. The students page on my website sets out the main points in the Act.
~ Anne Campbell
You are the trip I did not take, you are the pearls I could not buy, you are my blue Italian lake, you are my piece of foreign sky. You are my Honolulu moon, you are the book I did not write, you are my heart's unuttered tune, you are a candle in my night. You are the flower beneath the snow, in my dark sky a bit of blue, answering disappointment's blow with "I am happy! I have you!
~ Anne Campbell
You are the trip I did not take; You are the pearls I cannot buy; You are my blue Italian lake; You are my piece of foreign sky.
~ Anne Campbell
In youth, skin cells are replaced every two weeks but, as we age, the cycle slows down. The cells on the surface of the skin remain there longer and begin to look dull and tired. Natural oil production decelerates and collagen and elastin, which give the skin elasticity, break down, especially after menopause. Pockets of fat beneath the skin's surface become thinner. The overall effect is a face that is wrinkled, sagging, and boney.
~ Anne Campbell
There is ample evidence that it is women who suppress women's sexuality more than men do. Despite feminist arguments about male patriarchal control, a range of psychological, sociological, and anthropological studies suggest quite the opposite.
~ Anne Campbell
Women, far more than men, deceive the opposite sex by alterations to their appearance such as wearing make-up, painting their nails, getting fake tans, and wearing tight clothing.
~ Anne Campbell
The sexual revolution of the 1960s to 1980s changed women's sexual behavior more than men's yet it is women not men who report regrets and doubts about the increased permissiveness it brought.
~ Anne Campbell
But even today, young women cannot afford to shrug off a reputation for promiscuity and attempts to turn the double standard on men simply provokes laughter. Sexual conquests enhance rather than detract from a young man's reputation—his past desirability to women increases his future success with others.
~ Anne Campbell
A woman's first line of defense against mate poaching is to strengthen her bonds with her male partner by lavishing care and attention on him, and by making herself more attractive. If that fails, she may resort to derogating her rival's appearance and desirability.
~ Anne Campbell
Men's concern with status differentials has implications for their intimacy with friends. Because an element of competition always exists between them, men are wary about self-disclosure to other men.
~ Anne Campbell
Where we can open up new opportunities for women's self-expression, enjoyment, and achievement we should do it because it is morally right. But that is very different from saying that gender has no biological basis and that the nature of men and women is wholly constructed by society. The problem with such a position is that it fails to address the issue of why sex differences take the particular form that they do.
~ Anne Campbell
The genetic arms race suggests that men want the drama of fast-track sex without personal consequences and that women take a longer view incorporating protracted parental commitment.
~ Anne Campbell
Love means to commit yourself without guarantee.
~ Anne Campbell
The remarkable thing is that body shape, as an avenue of female competition, has taken on a life of its own. It has escaped from its roots in men's actual mate preferences. Despite this, many feminist writers have identified men as the chief culprits responsible for alienating women from their own bodies.
~ Anne Campbell
The fact that women work is no reason to suppose that they have altered their personalities. From an evolutionary point of view, the oddity is that there have been historical periods when women did not work. Without the calories that women provided through gathering tubers, vegetables, and honey, families would have starved. What marks our present-day environment as special is not the fact of women working but of women having to leave their children in order to do so.
~ Anne Campbell
Between the ages of 15 and 25 a woman reaches her maximum attractiveness.
~ Anne Campbell
For most men, most of the time, monogamy is a safe compromise between the wild bonanza of polygyny (achievable only by an elite few) and the reproductive death of complete mating failure.
~ Anne Campbell
Too many women means that men are in a good market position to enforce their preferred reproductive strategy and that strategy is likely to be one that minimizes paternal investment in favor of maternal investment.
