Gender Discrimination Quotes
Although this was written in a 1920 letter, the letter was not publicly published until 1970.
Puglia was an anti-feminist.
Shulamith Bath Shmuel Ben Ari Feuerstein. Feminist opinion is divided among those, like Firestone who want to eliminate all cultural gender distinctions and those who advocate a cultural gender distinction, but one that is equal and respectful.
Marcus Porcius Cato. This quotation has had two different interpretations over time. One was that women if they received equality of treatment and voting would have an advantage for they also had their traditional “feminine wiles” and their sexuality, hence would dominate men. The second was a also a warning but based on the fact that women were superior in many ways, and given an equal chance, would excel men. The later interpretation is argued by some who point to the 2011 American data that shows more females than males graduating from high school and college, and females outnumber males in medical, law and several other professional schools. With the exception of a few Roman men, most heeded Cato’s warning and never took a chance on female equality.
