“We are foolish, and without excuse foolish, in speaking of the superiority of one sex to the other, as if they could be compared in similar things! Each has what the other has not; each completes the other; they are in nothing alike and the happiness and perfection of both depend on each asking and receiving from the other what the other only can give.” IfsGivingSexDependsPerfectionAskingExcuseEqualityFoolishReceivingSuperiority Book:Sesame and Lilies Source: Sesame and Lilies
“I'm against suppression of pornography. If you suppress guns - yes; if you want to suppress poverty - yes. These are the obscenities, the real brutalization of people. I am almost more outraged by ads for blue jeans or cars that sort of blatantly depict women not only as sex objects, but women that look younger than the age of consent, looking like they've just been raped or asking to be raped-utterly passive sex objects.” PeopleIfsWantLooksRealAgeSexPovertyCarObjectsGunAskingBlueAdsPassiveConsentJeansPornographySuppressionOutragedObscenityBlue JeansAge Of Consent Author:Betty Friedan
“In science we see progress. In art there is no progress. In art the questions have always been the same. From the beginning of time till now, we are always asking the same questions. There are very few. We are looking for God, we are asking why we die, we are contemplating sex and the beauty of nature. The only thing that changes is that, in each period of questioning, we speak with the language of our time.” ArtDiesSpeakLanguageSexProgressPeriodsAskingOur TimeQuestioningContemplatingNature BeautyAsking Why Author:Christian Boltanski

“All we are asking for is balance. I would like to think that I could walk into a public library and find not only works by Gloria Steinem but also those of Phyllis Schlafly. I would like to think a teenager could be taught in sex education that a serious alternative to abortion is teenage abstinence, or should pregnancy occur, that adoption might be preferable. I am not trying, as the ad says, to shove religion down anyone's throat. But I do think everyone has a right, and that the Christian voice is being chocked off.” ThinkingShouldTryingMightChristianSexVoiceWalksTaughtSeriousBalanceAskingLibraryAlternativesTeenagerAbortionPregnancyThroatAdsAdoptionTeenageAbstinencePublic LibrarySex EducationGloria Author:Cal Thomas
