“Women's lib, Frannie had decided, was nothing more nor less than an outgrowth of the technological society. Women were at the mercy of their bodies. They were smaller. They tended to be weaker. A man couldn't get with child, but a woman could---every four-year-old knows it. And a pregnant woman is a vulnerable human being. Civilization had provided an umbrella of sanity that both sexes could stand beneath.” KnowsMenYearsHumansChildrenBodySexHuman BeingsFourCivilizationDecidedMercyVulnerableSanityFour YearsPregnantTechnologicalUmbrellaPregnant Women Book:The Stand Source: The Stand
“The necessary consequence of man's right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. All the reasons which make the initiation of physical force an evil, make the retaliatory use of physical force a moral imperative. If some "pacifist" society renounced the retaliatory use of force, it would be left helplessly at the mercy of the first thug who decided to be immoral. Such a society would achieve the opposite of its intention: instead of abolishing evil, it would encourage and reward it.” IfsMenFirstsMaySelfReasonUseWould BeLife IsUsedEvilLeftForceMoralAchieveConsequenceDecidedMercyOppositesIntentionRewardsDefenseCivilizedImmoralImperativesSelf DefenseThugPacifistInitiateInitiationCivilized SocietyRight To LifeRetaliationUse Of ForcePhysical Force Author:Ayn Rand
