“Now these fellows in Washington wouldn't be so serious and particular if they only had to vote on what they thought was good for the majority of the people in the U.S. That would be a cinch. But what makes it hard for them is every time a bill comes up they have things to decide that have nothing to do with the merit of the bill. The principal thing is of course: What will this do for me personally back home?” PeopleIfsHardHomeWould BeCoursesPoliticsParticularSeriousVoteFellowsBillsMajorityCome UpMeritPrincipalBack Home Author:Will Rogers
“Judge and prosecutor had hammered it home that Lady Chatterly was an immoral woman, that she had had sexual relations before marriage, that she had committed adultery under her husband's roof; as if these charges somehow disqualified her from participation in serious literature.

“There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can't be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs.” PeopleIfsMenTryingChildrenHomeJobsMotherForceNationsCareersSeriousMomStandardsGuiltSexismTrendsEnd TimesDisturbingSpend TimeSingle MomSexistDouble StandardBad MotherGuilt Trip Author:Gloria Allred
