“Women live lives of continual apology. They are born and raised to take the blame for other people's behavior. If they are treated without respect, they tell themselves that they have failed to earn respect. If their husbands do not fancy them, it is because they are unattractive.” PeopleIfsBornHusbandBehaviorBlameRaisedTreatedLive LifeFancyApologyUnattractiveBorn And RaisedEarn Respect Author:Germaine Greer
“The professor husband of a friend of mine has likened children to the insane. I often think of it. He says that children live on the edge of madness, that their behavior, apparently unmotivated, shares the same dream logic as crazy people's. I see what he means, and because I've learned to be patient with children, to tease out the logic that's always somewhere there, and irrefutable once explained.” PeopleThinkingMeanChildrenDreamShareCrazyMinesHusbandBehaviorLogicMadnessPatientEdgesInsaneI've LearnedProfessorsBe PatientTeaseCrazy PeopleUnmotivated Book:The Woman Upstairs Source: The Woman Upstairs
“[Wendy] Davis [pursued] higher education, as her campaign website says, with 'the help of academic scholarships, student loans, and state and federal grants.' Now that she is in a high-profile and hotly partisan race, it has come out that she also benefited from the moral and financial support of her second - now ex - husband. In the process, though, behavior we would expect and hardly notice in a man is being portrayed as freakish and problematic in a woman.” MenStatesHelpingWisdomRealityPoliticsProcessCommunityLeadershipJusticeMoneyRaceEducationMoralFamilyHistorySupportGenerationsHuman NaturePolicyStudentsHigherHusbandEqualBehaviorEthicsStrategyFinancialIndividualitySocial MediaCampaignsIdeologyGrantsAcademicExesLoanEqual RightsPursuedWebsiteScholarshipProfilePartisansHigher EducationPartisanshipStudent LoanWendyHigh ProfileEx HusbandFinancial Support Author:Liza Mundy
“What's amazing to me is how many of the issues facing women in the ancient world still linger today. Take Odysseus' wife, Penelope, a brilliant, resourceful woman who ends up in a terrible situation: in her husband's absence, she is being held hostage in her own home by men who claim to be courting her. She tries to make them leave, but because she's a woman they refuse, blaming their bad behavior on her desirability.” MenWorldTryingStillsEndsHomeTodaySituationIssuesWifeTerribleHusbandBehaviorClaimsBlameAncientRefuseBrilliantAbsenceHostageResourcefulBad BehaviorOdysseusAncient WorldDesirability Author:Madeline Miller

I forget the names, but they're legion. He's cheating on her frequently, and she knows about it and yet puts up with it and stays in Arkansas. Why?

“In general, in the matters that relate to theology or behavior, people to one another, Paul was obviously biblically correct. But when he said that women should always cover their hair or that women should not teach men, women should not have leadership positions in the church, women should not speak in the church, I don't' think that those writings of Paul can be extracted by themselves to stand alone. Also, Paul said that women should be subservient to their husbands but if you read a couple of verses down it says husbands should treat their wives as equals.” PeopleIfsThinkingMenShouldWritingSaidMatterSpeakChurchTeachWifePositionHairCoupleHusbandBehaviorTreatsTheologyRelateVersesMen WomenStand AloneSubservient Author:Jimmy Carter
“The vast majority of unfaithful people are experiencing a conflict between their values and their behavior, and that is the mess of infidelity. It's not an either-or. The idea that you would ask, "How can you say you love your husband and you want to stay married, and you also are having an affair?" Because we are not the same woman, or the same man. Because sexual revolutions don't take place at home. Because for most of us, freedom wasn't something that we experienced in our family, but usually outside of our family.” PeopleMenHomeValuesLove YouRevolutionHusbandConflictBehaviorMarriedAffairMessOur FamilyInfidelityUnfaithful Author:Esther Perel
