“The present relationship existing between husband and wife, where one claims a command over the actions of the other, is nothing more than a remnant of the old leaven of slavery. It is necessarily destructive of refined love; for how can a man continue to regard as his type of the ideal a being whom he has, be denying an equality of privilege with himself, degraded to something below himself?” MenActionMarriageWifeTypeHusbandIdealsClaimsRegardSlaveryPrivilegeCommandDestructiveHusband And WifeRefinedRemnants Book:An Autobiography: By Herbert Spencer Source: An Autobiography: By Herbert Spencer
“During the years I was on the board of directors of the National Organization for Women in New York City, the most resistant audiences I ever faced in the process of doing corporate workshops on equality in the workplace were not male executives - they were the wives of male executives. As long as her income came from her husband, she was not feeling generous when affirmative action let another woman have a head start vying for her husband's (her) income.” YearsLongFeelingsActionProcessCitiesAudienceWifeNew YorkDirectorsHusbandOrganizationMalesIncomeCorporateGenerousBoardsExecutivesNew York CityChaptersWorkplaceWorkshopsAffirmative ActionAffirmativeBoard Of DirectorsAnother WomanHead Start Author:Warren Farrell

“Without the heroic, man has no meaning; without the economic, he has no sense. Economic man is most likely to be economic woman - a good wife, pulling the coat tails of her heroic husband, checking his extravagances of speech and action with words of caution and good sense.

“I feel like I'll be defined more so by ... when I get a chance to play roles where I'm the father/husband. I'd like to continue with the action stuff, but when I get to play the father/husband role, I think that will be the time where I'm playing who I really am. I look forward to playing those kind of heroic characters, the types that are usually associated with Denzel Washington.” ThinkingKindCharacterActionFatherChanceHusbandHeroicDenzel Author:Michael Jai White
“If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband's family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick. . . But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn't she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye?” IfsShouldChildrenDoeActionFacesLawMotherWishLossHusbandSickSuicideMovedExtremesCommitBranchesLeapNurseAcceptableLaws Of NatureCliffsWidowsLoss Of A ChildCaretakers Author:Lisa See
