“The absence on the panel of anyone who could become pregnant accidentally or discover her salary was five thousand dollars a yearless than that of her male counterpart meant there was a hole in the consciousness of the committee that empathy, however welcome, could not entirely fill.” ConsciousnessFiveThousandEmpathyPrejudiceDollarsMalesPrivilegeAbsenceHolesWelcomeSexismPregnantCommitteesSalaryCounterparts Book:Thinking Out Loud: On the Personal, the Political, the Public and the Private Source: Thinking Out Loud: On the Personal, the Political, the Public and the Private
“Maybe it's the culture, maybe it's the cliché of Latino machismo, but the Mediterranean male character is more dull than the female character. Women are more surprising and they have fewer prejudices.” CharacterCultureFemalePrejudiceMalesDullFewerSurprisingLatinoFemale CharactersMachismo Author:Pedro Almodovar

“There is something false in this search for a purely feminine writing style. Language, such as it is, is inherited from a masculine society, and it contains many male prejudices. We must rid language of all that. Still, a language is not something created artificially; the proletariat can't use a different language from the bourgeoisie, even if they use it differently, even if from time to time they invent something, technical words or even a kind of worker's slang, which can be very beautiful and very rich. Women can do that as well, enrich their language, clean it up.” IfsWritingWellsKindStillsDifferentUseBeautifulLanguageCan DoRichStylePrejudiceCleanWorkersMalesFeminineMasculineVery BeautifulProletariatBourgeoisieSlangDifferent LanguagesWriting StyleRich Women Author:Simone de Beauvoir

“Islam makes very large claims for itself. In its art, there is a prejudice against representing the human form at all. The prohibition on picturing the prophet - who was only another male mammal - is apparently absolute. So is the prohibition on pork or alcohol or, in some Muslim societies, music or dancing. Very well then, let a good Muslim abstain rigorously from all these. But if he claims the right to make me abstain as well, he offers the clearest possible warning and proof of an aggressive intent.” IfsHumansWellsArtFormOffersClaimsPrejudiceAbsolutesDancingIslamMalesAlcoholProofProphetWarningAggressiveRepresentingProhibitionPorkMammalsHuman Form Author:Christopher Hitchens

“I've always been intrigued with the male characters in novels like 'Pride and Prejudice' such as Mr. Darcy, and this poem is part of a series of poems that explore desire and obsessions. The poems have been sitting in a drawer for a few years, so I decided to dust them off and work on them again since I have not written a new poem in more than three years. I'm not sure anything will become of the series, but at least it gives me something to work on in a period where I feel very uncreative.” GivingFeelsYearsHas BeensCharacterDesireThreeNovelWrittenPridePeriodsSittingDecidedGive MePrejudiceSeriesMalesObsessionDustNot SureThree YearsIntriguedDrawersDarcy Author:Victoria Chang
