“The men who are to protect the community against violent aggression easily turn into the most dangerous aggressors. They transgress their mandate. They misuse their power for the oppression of those whom they were expected to defend against oppression. The main political problem is how to prevent the police power from becoming tyrannical. This is the meaning of all the struggles for liberty.” MenProblemPoliticalTurnsCommunityLibertyStruggleDangerousHe ManBecomingProtectPoliceExpectedViolentOppressionAggressionMandatesMisuseAggressorsPolice Power Book:The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science: An Essay on Method Source: The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science: An Essay on Method

“Well into the 19th century there were pronouncements from just about every branch of science and medicine that reading, writing, and thinking were dangerous for women. Articles in the Lancet declared that women's brains would burst and their uteruses atrophy if they engaged in any form of rigorous thinking. The famous physician J.D. Kellogg insisted that novel reading was the greatest cause of uterine disease among young women and urged parents to protect their daughters from the dreaded consequences of print.” IfsThinkingWritingWellsFormYoungReadingCausesParentBrainNovelCenturyDangerousProtectDiseaseDaughterConsequenceMedicineEngagedBranchesPrintSexismArticlesPhysiciansYoung Women19th CenturyAtrophyReading WritingUterusWriting And Thinking Author:Dale Spender
“I'm totally against women in combat, because we live in a culture and a society that imposes on every man the concept of women and children first...If you had a man and a woman trying to go through some dangerous woods, the man's instinct would be to protect the woman.

“Instead of it being the mark of a real man that you can shoot somebody at 50 feet and kill them with a gun, the mark of a real man is that you would never do anything like that. . . . The gun is a great equalizer because it makes wimps as dangerous as people who really have skill and bravery and so I'd like to have this notion that anyone using a gun is a wuss. They aren't anybody to be looked up to. They're somebody to look down at because they couldn't defend themselves or couldn't protect others without using a gun.” PeopleMenLooksRealFeetDangerousProtectSkillsGunMarkBraveryNotionReal MenEqualizerWimps Author:David Hemenway
“Playing the sex object may not be dangerous for Miley Cyrus, with her bodyguards to protect her, but for a 13-year-old girl hanging out at a party at night, it can be.

“The government is always looking for something that appears more dangerous than itself, and these criminals seem to fit the bill. Never mind that it was the government that promised but failed to protect us. It was the government that prevented the airlines from protecting themselves. It was the government that so badly botched the rescue operations. It was the government that had stirred up the hate that led to the terrorism.” MindSeemsGovernmentHateDangerousFitProtectBillsTerrorismCriminalsOperationsRescueAirline Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
“I've been blessed with two beautiful daughters. It is amazing how inadequate I can feel in being able to protect, teach, and take care of them. I'm not talking about a paranoid the-world-is-a-dangerous-place kind of way. I mean when they just give me a simple look or ask me something like "Where do stars comes from, Daddy?"

“Now since man is naturally inclined to avoid pain - and since labor is pain in itself - it follows that men will resort to plunder whenever plunder is easier than work. History shows this quite clearly. And under these conditions, neither religion nor morality can stop it. When, then, does plunder stop? It stops when it becomes more painful and more dangerous than labor. It is evident, then, that the proper purpose of law is to use the power of its collective force to stop this fatal tendency to plunder instead of to work. All the measures of the law should protect property and punish plunder.” MenShouldDoeUseShowsPainLawPurposeForceHistoryConditionsDangerousMoralityEasierProtectLaborPropertyPainfulTendenciesCollectivesEvidentResortsPlunder Author:Frederic Bastiat
