I'm opposed to the notion of official ideology--not just fascism, Communism, Baathism, but the fluffier ones, too, like 'multiculturalism' and 'climate change' and 'marriage equality.' Because the more topics you rule out of discussion--immigration, Islam, 'gender fluidity'--the more you delegitimize the political system. ~ Mark Steyn
Gender Fluidity quotes by Mark Steyn
Free speech and a dynamic, innovative society are intimately connected: a culture that can't bear a dissenting word on race or religion or gender fluidity or carbon offsets is a society that will cease to innovate, and then stagnate, and then decline, very fast.

As American universities, British playwrights, and Australian judges once understood, the 'safe space' is where cultures go to die. ~ Mark Steyn
Gender Fluidity quotes by Mark Steyn
My mother said the bizarre name Raccoona had surely been inspired, at least on a subliminal level, by the masks raccoons don't wear but simply have - the ones given them by nature ... [S]he pointed out that Le Guin had suspected all along that Raccoona and Tiptree were two authors that came from the same source, but in a letter to Alice she wrote that she preferred Tiptree to Raccoona: 'Raccoona, I think, has less control, thus less wit and power.'
Le Guin, Mother said, had understood something deep. 'When you take on a male persona, something happens.'
When I asked her what that was, she sat back in her chair, waved her arm, and smiled. 'You get to be the father. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Gender Fluidity quotes by Siri Hustvedt
Where writers are from is one of the world' s most boring topics. Where we're born, gender or race, wealth or poverty - those are the things we spend time talking about. Stop trying to label me. I'm a writer. Worry about whether I'm any good! ~ M. J. Hyland
Gender Fluidity quotes by M. J. Hyland
The most important thing we're doing differently is that we talk openly about gender at Facebook. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Gender Fluidity quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
And I thought, you know, a little gender confusion makes a better person. A little adversity in life at an early age. It's character building. ~ Lesley Gore
Gender Fluidity quotes by Lesley Gore
Decolonial feminism arrives at a similar conclusion that gender is not an innocent concept. This school of thought points to gender as a colonial introduction. As a concept gender did not exist among indigenous and black people; more fluid categorisations prevailed ~ Gloria Wekker
Gender Fluidity quotes by Gloria Wekker
I desire a person, not a gender. ~ Matthew C. Ehrlich
Gender Fluidity quotes by Matthew C. Ehrlich
I was arguing not that everyone should read books by ladies - though shifting the balance matters - but that maybe the whole point of reading is to be able to explore and also transcend your gender (and race and class and orientation and nationality and moment in history and age and ability) and experience being others. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Gender Fluidity quotes by Rebecca Solnit
It is because of religious dogma, (black health care professional Thelma) Delgado says, that young African Americans believe "God will make a way for their survival, so they may drop out of school, have children with no visible means of supporting them, or simply not plan for their financial future because they believe god will handle the hardships and the details that rationalists plan for. ~ Sikivu Hutchinson In Moral Combat Black Atheists Gender Politics And The Values Wars
Gender Fluidity quotes by Sikivu Hutchinson In Moral Combat Black Atheists Gender Politics And The Values Wars
Someone will always pop up to say, "You would be more effective if you were nicer." "You would have a more receptive audience if you adjusted your tone." "You catch more flies with honey." Well, I don't want flies. The most likable woman in the world is crawling with fucking flies. ~ Lindy West
Gender Fluidity quotes by Lindy West
Dining partners, regardless of gender, social standing, or the years they've lived, should be chosen for their ability to eat - and drink! - with the right mixture of abandon and restraint. They should enjoy food, and look upon its preparation and its degustation as one of the human arts. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Gender Fluidity quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
She'd never trusted her own natural impulses and instincts Among her greatest fears was the possibility that she might never discover and develop her deepest talents and intuitions. Her special gifts. Her life would be wasted in pursuing the goals set for her by other people. Instead, she wanted to reclaim a power and authority - a primitive, irresistible force - that transcended gender roles. She dreamed of wielding a raw magic that predated civilization itself. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Gender Fluidity quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
One only has to read interviews with outstanding women to hear them apologizing ~ Monique Wittig
Gender Fluidity quotes by Monique Wittig
The strongest common bond between the genders is the universally acknowledged truth that both men and women are unhappy with their hair. ~ Linda Sunshine
Gender Fluidity quotes by Linda Sunshine
Our laws as we support them now are slow, wasteful, cumbrous systems, which require a special caste to interpret and another to enforce; wherein the average citizen knows nothing of the law, and cares only to evade it when he can, obey it when he must. ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Gender Fluidity quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I don't care whether they're men or women, that's bullshit. A good writer can get into any gender, can get into any mouth. When I write I may be a Brando creep, or a girl laying on the floor, or a Japanese tourist, or a slob like Richard Speck. You have to be a chameleon when you're writing. ~ Patti Smith
Gender Fluidity quotes by Patti Smith
How you identify or what you prefer in the bedroom does not define your goals, dreams or interests, and has no baring on who you are as a human being, You don't need to dress or behave a certain way because of your sexual orientation if you don't want to. Trust that there are groups and resources out there that will support you no matter what. I know that I certainly appreciate all of my fans equally! ~ Natasha Negovanlis
Gender Fluidity quotes by Natasha Negovanlis
Sinister is Latin for 'left', making it the sort of enjoyable schoolboy pun that is such an advert for mixed-gender education. ~ Ben Aaronovitch
Gender Fluidity quotes by Ben Aaronovitch
So far, the items on that list of brain differences that are thought to explain the gender status quo have always, in the end been crossed off. But before this happens, speculation becomes elevated to the status of fact, especially in the hands of some popular writers. Once in the public domain these supposed facts about male and female brains become part of the culture, often lingering on well past their best-by dates. Here they reinforce and legitimate the gender stereotypes that interact with our minds, helping to create the very gender inequalities that the neuroscientific claims seek to explain. ~ Cordelia Fine
Gender Fluidity quotes by Cordelia Fine
We are a model country where gender equality is concerned. ~ Tarja Halonen
Gender Fluidity quotes by Tarja Halonen
How could I explain that it was not all playacting? That I felt more of the male spirit within me than the female - a fierceness that whittled me down to a sharpened spear of ambition. And as a boy, I was applauded, not punished, for such raw energy. It was not beaten out of me for my own good, or worn away by women's chores. ~ Alison Goodman
Gender Fluidity quotes by Alison Goodman
Christian feminists insist that patriarchal Christianity's denial of women's humanity, its disrespect for their human rights, and its idealizing of women's powerlessness is far from accidental. This system of male control naturalizes dominant-subordinate relationships for the purpose of legitimating male supremacy. Its continuation depends, to a great extent, on the compliance of women and men to its norms and ideological assumptions about gender. When gender conformity and compliance to racist patriarchal norms break down, patriarchy turns violent, especially when women display autonomous self-direction and "when we women live and act as full and adequate persons in our own right." As [Beverly] Harrison explains: It is never the mere presence of a women nor the image of women, nor fear of 'femininity,' that is the heart of misogyny. The core of misogyny, which has yet to be broken or even touched, is the reaction that occurs when women's concrete power is manifest. ~ Marvin M. Ellison
Gender Fluidity quotes by Marvin M. Ellison
As for the boys ... vulnerable fathers turn to time-honored defensive responses to maintain the function that father knows best' Parents, especially fathers, teach their sons to obey authority no matter what. ~ Martha Stout
Gender Fluidity quotes by Martha Stout
I was a tomboy as a kid - I was skinny and had cropped hair and was often mistaken for a boy - and up until I was about six, I had my own very fluid ideas of gender in that I believed that, somehow, an individual could choose whether or not s/he wanted to be a boy or a girl. ~ Elizabeth Hand
Gender Fluidity quotes by Elizabeth Hand
America is a place of opportunity. It's people-friendly! Very much so, compared to the Muslim countries in the world. People looking for better lives flock to America because we as a society do not mutilate young girls' genitals, do not cut off people's hands for stealing. We do not stone people to death for committing adultery. We do not rape women and men for speaking up against our government. We do not forbid people to go to school and to learn because of their gender. We assume people are innocent until proven guilty. We give people the freedom to criticize our government and even burn our flag as an expression of speech. This is but a partial list of why America is superior in culture and values to many other countries in the world. This type of culture also thrives in Israel, the only Western-style nation in the Middle East, one that Arabs despise, feel threatened by, and vow to destroy. ~ Brigitte Gabriel
Gender Fluidity quotes by Brigitte Gabriel
We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination. ~ Nelson Mandela
Gender Fluidity quotes by Nelson Mandela
Obviously, I have no idea what it's like to carry a baby, and I never will - cheers to owning a dick. And while our metaphorical glasses are still raised in a toast to my gender, I think a 'cheers' to my ability in evading the evil curse known as Couvade Syndrome is also warranted. Clink! ~ K.M. Golland
Gender Fluidity quotes by K.M. Golland
'Rhye' clearly plays with notions of sexual identity, and it has made a concerted effort to keep its own identity mysterious. Its love songs are gender-neutral, the members have declined to appear in their own videos, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a photo of the duo that doesn't cast them in shadows. ~ Will Hermes
Gender Fluidity quotes by Will Hermes
I don't like narrowing my readers down - there's not a particular age or gender or nationality. I suppose I'm aiming at the child I was. ~ Anthony Browne
Gender Fluidity quotes by Anthony Browne
In regards to being female, I don't really think about it in the same way that other people do. I prefer to focus on my job rather than my gender. I'm still amazed that people think it's a big deal. ~ Rhianna Pratchett
Gender Fluidity quotes by Rhianna Pratchett
Gender provides a revealing entrance into the world's religious traditions. How gender is viewed reflects itself not simply in the moral practices of those traditions, but in their metaphysics. Gender shapes their worldview and ethos. In Taoism, for example, ultimate reality is feminine, and what is seen as truly powerful is what adapts and adjusts. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam privilege the masculine. For these religions, what counts for ultimately is the power to control and command. Religions are gendered entities, although often presenting themselves as something simply natural or God-ordained, and therefore objective and universal. Viewing the various religions through the lens of gender, opens up a hidden landscape. It reveals what is usually veiled, puts voices into officially sanctioned silences, and makes more complex what we see and hear and learn from the past. It enriches our grasp upon the heritage of the sacred. ~ John C. Raines
Gender Fluidity quotes by John C. Raines
Hopefully, 21 years later, Judge Roberts possesses an openness with respect to issues of gender-based wage discrimination. ~ Olympia Snowe
Gender Fluidity quotes by Olympia Snowe
I don't think about being male or female, I just behave naturally. I think in terms of excellence in science, not gender. ~ May-Britt Moser
Gender Fluidity quotes by May-Britt Moser
There is no original or primary gender a drag imitates, but gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original. ~ Judith Butler
Gender Fluidity quotes by Judith Butler
Flame mails and offensive Internet activities are not classy. It doesn't fit with our culture here, where we respect the gender, race, opinions, ear-lobe apparel and choice of clothing of all employees. ~ David Duffield
Gender Fluidity quotes by David Duffield
If parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out. ~ Marian Wright Edelman
Gender Fluidity quotes by Marian Wright Edelman
The first movements of the fetus produce this sense of the splitting subject; the fetus's movements are wholly mine, completely within me, condition my experience and space. Only I have access to these movements from their origin, as it were. For months only I can witness this life within me, and it is only under my direction of where to put their hands that others can feel these movements. I have a privileged relation to this other life, not unlike that which I have to my dreams and thoughts, which I can tell someone but which cannot be an object for both of us in the same way... Pregnancy challenges the integration of my body experience by rendering fluid the boundary between what is within, myself, and what is outside, separate. I experience my insides as the space of another, yet my own body. ~ Iris Marion Young
Gender Fluidity quotes by Iris Marion Young
Blatant, intentional discrimination against women is far from being something merely to be read about in history books. ~ Cordelia Fine
Gender Fluidity quotes by Cordelia Fine
Power relations between men and women must change profoundly, men must be partners in the pursuit of gender equality, in their decision-making roles, as heads of state, CEOs, religious and cultural leaders, and as partners and parents. ~ Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka
Gender Fluidity quotes by Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka
What is masculine and what is feminine, anyway? Why should men not show that they can be fragile or seductive? I am only happy when there is no discrimination. ~ Jean Paul Gaultier
Gender Fluidity quotes by Jean Paul Gaultier
The third group called to silence is women. This group is not composed of all women all the time but rather of specific women who were asking questions and speaking in the service. The larger context of these verses demands that we understand these questioning women to be a disruption of the peace and order of the service. This is the reason Paul wrote that 'women should keep silent in the churches' (v. 34). Paul's concern is not just with women (for men too are called to be silent in church); his broader concern is with silence, peace, and order in the worship assembly. This perspective allows us rightly to understand the rest of this chapter, 14:34-40. Paul next tells these specific women to 'be in submission.' We tend to think of this as submission to MEN, but the larger context makes this improbable. Our patriarchal and man-centered culture over the millennia has distorted the meaning of this command to submit. Rather than commanding submission to men, the apostle is commanding SUBMISSION TO THE ORDER OF THE WORSHIP SERVICE, that is, submission to the Holy Spirit. This reading helps us understand the next phrase: 'even as the law says.' Normally LAW in Paul refers to the Old Testament, but it can also have a wider meaning. Nowhere in the Old Testament are women called to be silent, nor are they called to submit to their husbands. Yet there is excellent evidence for biblical and broadly Jewish concern for SILENCE IN WORSHIP before God or the Word of God or while learning f ~ Alan G. Padgett
Gender Fluidity quotes by Alan G. Padgett
I didn't know there were options like gender neutral or gender fluid. I later realized you could be a girl and dress like a guy. ~ Ruby Rose
Gender Fluidity quotes by Ruby Rose
The purpose of affirmative action is to give our nation a way to finally address the systemic exclusion of individuals of talent on the basis of their gender, or race from opportunities to develop, perform, achieve and contribute. Affirmative action is an effort to develop systematic approach to open the doors of education, employment, and business development opportunities to qualified individuals who happen to be members of groups that have experienced long-standing and persistent discrimination. ~ William J. Clinton
Gender Fluidity quotes by William J. Clinton
When you say lone gunman, everyone talks about loners and guns, but not about men ~ Rebecca Solnit
Gender Fluidity quotes by Rebecca Solnit
First there's my role just as an executive being responsible for advertising, regardless of gender. I think that's a position that I take seriously. That's the first role. But I think for my role as a woman at Google, you try to set a good example and be a role model for the other women in the organization. ~ Susan Wojcicki
Gender Fluidity quotes by Susan Wojcicki
Dream the dreams that have never been dreamt. ~ David Bower
