We still have gaps that are rooted in gender inequality. Certainly we have discrimination against the LGBT community. ~ Hillary Clinton
Gender Inequality quotes by Hillary Clinton
And a woman by herself is missing a man, while a man by himself is his own master.
Trousers. That's the secret. Trousers and a pair of socks. I never dreamed it was like this. Put on trousers and the world changes. We walk different. We act different. I see these girls and I think: Idiot's Get yourself some trousers! ~ Terry Pratchett
Gender Inequality quotes by Terry Pratchett
That was part of being a girl--you were resigned to whatever feedback you'd get. If you got mad, you were crazy, and if you didn't react, you were a bitch. The only thing you could do was smile from the corner they'd backed you into. Implicate yourself in the joke even if the joke was always on you. ~ Emma Cline
Gender Inequality quotes by Emma Cline
Can there be true equality in the classroom and the boardroom if there isn't in the bedroom? Back in 1995 the National Commission on Adolescent Sexual Health declared healthy sexual development a basic human right. Teen intimacy, it said, ought to be "consensual, non-exploitative, honest, pleasurable, and protected against unintended pregnancy and STDs." How is it, over two decades later, that we are so shamefully short of that goal?

Sara McClelland, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, writes about sexuality as a matter of "intimate justice," touching on fundamental issues of gender inequality, economic disparity, violence, bodily integrity, physical and mental health, self-efficacy, and power dynamics in our most personal relationships. She asks us to consider: Who has the right to engage in sexual behavior? Who has the right to enjoy it? Who is the primary beneficiary of the experience? Who feels deserving? How does each partner define "good enough?" Those are thorny questions when looking at female sexuality at any age, but particularly when considering girls' early, formative experience. Nonetheless, I was determined to ask them. ~ Peggy Orenstein
Gender Inequality quotes by Peggy Orenstein
It's ridiculous – a girl steps out, goes dancing, gets her hair cut, decides to spend the summer in Italy and it's a scandal. A chap does it and no one bats an eyelid. ~ Sara Sheridan
Gender Inequality quotes by Sara Sheridan
They are afraid to read out loud, fearful of being thought stupid or foolish or - what? I ask them. Girlish? Boring, says one Megan. (Which Megan? I can't remember.) This is a terrible fear, I know - this fear of not being interesting - of being trivial, not special. It is almost as great, I think, as their fear of standing out and being special. ~ Sallie Tisdale
Gender Inequality quotes by Sallie Tisdale
Blatant, intentional discrimination against women is far from being something merely to be read about in history books. ~ Cordelia Fine
Gender Inequality quotes by Cordelia Fine
You have to be invited to the party. You have to be invited to work, which is weird. That can be frustrating. But gender inequality is pretty similar through almost every industry, unfortunately. ~ Daryl Hannah
Gender Inequality quotes by Daryl Hannah
Women empowerment begins at home! ~ Alex Haditaghi
Gender Inequality quotes by Alex Haditaghi
I feel more than a mother's fondness and anxiety, when I reflect on the dependent and oppressed state of [my daughter's] sex. I dread lest she should be forced to sacrifice her heart to her principles, or principles to her heart. With trembling hand I shall cultivate sensibility, and cherish delicacy of sentiment, lest, whilst I lend fresh blushes to the rose, I sharpen the thorns that will wound the breast I would fain guard - I dread to unfold her mind, lest it should render her unfit for the worlds she is to inhabit - Hapless woman! What a fate is thine! ~ Mary Wollstonecraft
Gender Inequality quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft
The benefits of feminism have been unequally distributed, because the move toward gender equality and gender neutrality has been countered to a large extent by the increase in economic inequality. ~ Stephanie Coontz
Gender Inequality quotes by Stephanie Coontz
Even though men have very little interest in wearing women's clothes, this has not prevented a gigantic industry from arising, dedicated to satisfying women's desires in fashion. Industries which provide makeup, hair styling, nail polish, hair removal, and weight loss services are similarly "biased" in the direction of females: they disproportionately serve women. These phenomena would be very difficult to understand on the feminist model that female wants are ignored or deprecated in the male's favor. ~ Walter Block
Gender Inequality quotes by Walter Block
I waited to be told what was good about me. [...] All that time I had spent readying myself, the articles that taught me life was really just a waiting room until someone noticed you- the boys had spent that time becoming themselves. ~ Emma Cline
Gender Inequality quotes by Emma Cline
A man is NOT a financial plan.
A woman is NOT a domestic plan.

Money is an essential necessity-
You must have and make your own money. Cooking and house chores are basic life skills- you must be able to make your own meals and put your house in order..... ~ Ian Ochieng
Gender Inequality quotes by Ian Ochieng
It is the socially determined norms and traditions of gender roles, which must be challenged, and challenged with vigor. In nearly all countries, including America, the truth is that women have a low social status, and are considered inferior. ~ Bryant McGill
Gender Inequality quotes by Bryant McGill
We may add that it is not an act of justice but of foolish injustice to pretend the sexes are the same. Justice is exercised in respectfully providing for the due needs of each. ~ J. Budziszewski
Gender Inequality quotes by J. Budziszewski
No, I'm the human here. I'm the life at stake. I'm the one with fingernails, who feels pain.

Me. ~ Alicen Grey
Gender Inequality quotes by Alicen Grey
Sadly, our society still perpetuates the false ideal that a real man should be all masculine, and a real woman all feminine. Neither is possible, nor desirable. ~ William Keepin
Gender Inequality quotes by William Keepin
As has been long observed, men are people, but women are women. ~ Cordelia Fine
Gender Inequality quotes by Cordelia Fine
The challenge today is to prod the world to face up to women locked in brothels and teenage girls with fistulas curled up on the floor of isolated huts. We hope to see a broad movement emerge to battle gender inequality around the world and to push for education and opportunities for girls around the world. ~ Nicholas D. Kristof
Gender Inequality quotes by Nicholas D. Kristof
She was a spiky teenager rebelling against the soul-suck mirror reflected back at her in her mother's blank stare, her question mark of a spine. Determined to beat the odds, she completed high school with distinction. But there was a caveat. Beydan was allowed to roam and educate herself – up to a point. On her eighteenth birthday her Father sat her down and held out his Rolexed wrist. Studded with crystals and flecks of diamond, the watch dazzled in the light. All Beydan could hear, however, was tick-tock-tick-tick-tick-tick - time to neatly fold all her hard work, to parcel up her progress, send it to the attic in her subconscious and let dust gather on her dreams. There was a lump in her throat and a stopwatch in her womb. ~ Diriye Osman
Gender Inequality quotes by Diriye Osman
I have been looking at the marriage service in the Prayer-book, and it seems to me very humiliating that a giver-away should be required at all. According to the ceremony as there printed, my bridegroom chooses me of his own will and pleasure; but I don't choose him. Somebody gives me to him, like a she-ass or she-goat, or any other domestic animal. ~ Thomas Hardy
Gender Inequality quotes by Thomas Hardy
Understandably she had a lot of suitors, just like any other girls in China with two arms and legs. ~ Vann Chow
Gender Inequality quotes by Vann Chow
By God, if women had written stories,
As clerks had within here oratories,
They would have written of men more wickedness
Than all the mark of Adam may redress. ~ Geoffrey Chaucer
Gender Inequality quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer
It occurred to me that as a man I could do anything, everything I wanted. ~ Sara Sheridan
Gender Inequality quotes by Sara Sheridan
...While many who have debated the image of female sexuality have put "explicit" and "self-objectifying" on one side and "respectable" and "covered-up" on the other, I find this a flawed means of categorization. [...] There is a creative possibility for liberatory explicitness because it may expand the confines of what women are allowed to say and do. We just need to refer to the history of blues music - one full of raunchy, irreverent, and transgressive women artists - for examples. Yet the overwhelming prevalence of the Madonna/whore dichotomy in American culture means that any woman who uses explicit language or images in her creative expression is in danger of being symbolically cast into the role of whore regardless of what liberatory intentions she may have. ~ Imani Perry
Gender Inequality quotes by Imani Perry
I cannot see that keeping the status quo intact would help in any way to solve the problems of inequality or suffering in this world. I would go for taking action towards change instead of accepting the inevitable. ~ Elina Juusola
Gender Inequality quotes by Elina Juusola
Whenever he realizes that a female is more gifted than him, the average man subconsciously consoles himself with the fact that she does not have even a tiny penis. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Gender Inequality quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Studies have shown a woman looking for a
'sense of humour' wants a man who
makes jokes and who likes to laugh.
A man looking for the same quality in a
woman does not expect her to be funny;
rather, he wants her to laugh at his jokes. ~ Lili Boisvert
Gender Inequality quotes by Lili Boisvert
Gender equality, historically has been predominantly a women's movement for women. But I think the impact of gender inequality and how it's affecting men hasn't really been addressed. ~ Emma Watson
Gender Inequality quotes by Emma Watson
What's the worst possible thing you can call a woman? Don't hold back, now.
You're probably thinking of words like slut, whore, bitch, cunt (I told you not to hold back!), skank.
Okay, now, what are the worst things you can call a guy? Fag, girl, bitch, pussy. I've even heard the term "mangina."
Notice anything? The worst thing you can call a girl is a girl. The worst thing you can call a guy is a girl. Being a woman is the ultimate insult. Now tell me that's not royally fucked up. ~ Jessica Valenti
Gender Inequality quotes by Jessica Valenti
I have lectured at the U.N. and travelled widely, giving lectures on human rights and gender inequalities in universities. But this is a life I do not wish to live. I don't want to be a showcase, I want to be in a battlefield where I can stand beside the oppressed and the poor. ~ Taslima Nasrin
Gender Inequality quotes by Taslima Nasrin
Woman cannot be free until man's mind is liberated from the megalomania! His self-exaltation is the mother of the gender inequalities. Till we eliminate his exacerbated narcissism, woman will remain unfree! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Gender Inequality quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
His own exclamation: "Women should be free - as free as we are," struck to the root of a problem that it was agreed in his world to regard as nonexistent. "Nice" women, however wronged, would never claim the kind of freedom he meant, and generous-minded men like himself were therefore - in the heat of argument - the more chivalrously ready to concede it to them. Such verbal generosities were in fact only a humbugging disguise of the inexorable conventions that tied things together and bound people down to the old pattern. ~ Edith Wharton
Gender Inequality quotes by Edith Wharton
Answering the question 'How would you like to smell?' by saying 'I'd rather I didn't' is also no longer acceptable. It's not playing the game. Men are expected to put some cash into the cosmetic pot too - it's seen as almost un-feminist not to. What a uniquely capitalist response to that gender inequality: women have been forced by convention for generations - millennia - to spend money on expensive clothes and agonising shoes, to daub themselves with reality-concealing slap, to smell expensively inhuman, to self-mutilate in pursuit of eternal youth; and this, quite rightly, has come to be deemed unfair. But how do we end this hell? We make men do it too. Well done everyone. ~ David Mitchell
Gender Inequality quotes by David Mitchell
He was too smitten by his second wife and the sons she produced easily and regularly at eighteen-month intervals to bother too much about a daughter. ~ Anita Nair
Gender Inequality quotes by Anita Nair
The second tool is a question: Can you reverse X and get the same results? ... If the answer is yes, then your choosing to forgive him can be a feminist choice because it is not shaped by a gender inequality. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Gender Inequality quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
When I got to be a CEO, I said: 'Right. I'm now going to tackle gender inequality head-on. I'm going to make a difference and lead by example and actively put in place policies and practices to support women.' ~ Gail Kelly
Gender Inequality quotes by Gail Kelly
Finally, the dirty little secret about sexual objectification is that it is an act that cannot be performed with any attention to its ethical meaning. Experientially - from the point of view of a man who is sexually objectifying - sexual objectification and ethical self awareness are mutually exclusive. A man cannot reflect on what he is doing and its real consequences for real people and at the same time fully accomplish the act of sexual objectifying. There's no way it can be done, because hos own subjective reality is too contingent upon the unreality of someone else. All that can be left "out there" in his field of awareness is the other person's sexedness - an abstract representation of a gender - in comparison with which his own sexedness may flourish and engorge. So it is that a man shuts off his capacity for ethical empathy - whatever capacity he may ever had - in order to commit an act of despersonalization that is "gratifying" essentially because it functions to fulfill his sense of an identity that is authentically male. ~ John Stoltenberg
Gender Inequality quotes by John Stoltenberg
I don't see why you're not just going for this.' Dovey looked her in the eyes, in the mirror. 'You are a rocket. You go for thing, Dellarobia. That is you. When did you ever not?'
Dellarobia shut her eyes. 'When there was nothing out there to land on, I guess.'
'Now, see,' Dovey clucked, 'that's a woman thing. Men and kids get to just light out and fly, without even worrying about what comes next. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Gender Inequality quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Now, it is frequently asserted that, with women, the job does not come first. What (people cry) are women doing with this liberty of theirs? What woman really prefers a job to a home and family? Very few, I admit. It is unfortunate that they should so often have to make the choice. A man does not, as a rule, have to choose. He gets both. Nevertheless, there have been women ... who had the choice, and chose the job and made a success of it. And there have been and are many men who have sacrificed their careers for women ... When it comes to a choice, then every man or woman has to choose as an individual human being, and, like a human being, take the consequences. ~ Dorothy L. Sayers
Gender Inequality quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
The very act of accepting her position at Mademoiselle was an act of open defiance against Dick Norton, his entire family, and the gendered expectations of midcentury America. ~ Elizabeth Winder
Gender Inequality quotes by Elizabeth Winder
For a single woman, it's all very impressive."

I took a breath. Why was there always that qualification? What if every time I commented on a man's success I said, for someone whose genitalia is dangerously housed outside of their bodies, it's a reasonable effort. ~ Abbi Waxman
Gender Inequality quotes by Abbi Waxman
I have to admit, I was quite insensitive to the issue of gender inequality in the workplace until a few years ago. ~ Naina Lal Kidwai
Gender Inequality quotes by Naina Lal Kidwai
I put in no claims either for happiness, for gratification, or even for the common comforts of life: yet, surely, I had a right to exist! ~ Mary Hays
Gender Inequality quotes by Mary Hays
Unwittingly, the feminists acknowledge the superiority of the male sex by wishing to become like men. ~ Alice Von Hildebrand
Gender Inequality quotes by Alice Von Hildebrand
George Floyd's death may have compelled you to post a black image on your social-media accounts but what it should really have done is made you question yourself and find within you those dark places where intolerance might be hiding for who among us can stand tall and proclaim that they have never been prejudiced towards a certain ethnicity, gender, colour or faith? ~ Aysha Taryam
Gender Inequality quotes by Aysha Taryam
That's the trouble about the good guys and the bad guys! They're all guys! ~ Terry Pratchett
Gender Inequality quotes by Terry Pratchett
The more women help one another, the more we help ourselves. Acting like a coalition truly does produce results.
Any coalition of support must also include men, many of whom care about gender inequality as much as women do. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Gender Inequality quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Call me old-fashioned, but I thought the one battle we feminists won fair and square was to convince at least those left of centre that gender roles are made up. They are not real. We play at them. We develop traditional masculine or feminine traits by being indoctrinated, not because we are biologically programmed to behave in those ways. ~ Julie Bindel
Gender Inequality quotes by Julie Bindel
Sometimes, when something has a name it changes things. Especially when the name is big, long, and official-sounding, like "gender-nonconforming". ~ Lori Duron
Gender Inequality quotes by Lori Duron
Have you ever played Monopoly? It's a board game designed to teach kids capitalism. And what happens in the end? The winner has all the money, and everyone else has nothing. Woohoo! So much fun! That's literally how America works. That's why there are a few super rich people who own almost everything, and tens of millions of dirt poor people who have nothing. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Gender Inequality quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
As the community stays with the uncomfortable tension of contradiction, individuals begin to perceive the truth of "the other" as their own experience, and the polarities of conflicting positions often dissolve into an unexpected emergence of a deeper underlying unity: a profound recognition that, ultimately, there is no "other". We are all one. ~ William Keepin
Gender Inequality quotes by William Keepin
Rapid growth in wealth inequality results in the inevitable isolation of a very small, very rich, very privileged section of the community from the material experiences of everyone else. And when this out-of-touch minority group is enfranchised to make the decisions on behalf of people they don't know, can't see, have no wish to understand, and think of entirely in dehumanised, transactional, abstract terms, the results for the rest of us are devastating. ~ Sally McManus
Gender Inequality quotes by Sally McManus
The weak economy, widening income inequality, gridlock in Congress and a presidential election: Those were perhaps the dominant economic and political themes of 2012. ~ Steven Rattner
Gender Inequality quotes by Steven Rattner
Violence against women in this country is not levied against just Democrats, but Republicans as well ... not just rich people or poor people. It knows no gender, it knows no ethnicity, it knows nothing. ~ Gwen Moore
Gender Inequality quotes by Gwen Moore
I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules, so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy, uncomfortable, unpleasant thing. ~ Zosia Mamet
Gender Inequality quotes by Zosia Mamet
Today's widespread social disharmony in relation to gender is not inevitable for human society, although it is the inevitable product of thousands of years of systemic gender injustice across the globe. Because we have never known anything else, it is difficult impossible for us to imagine what life would be like if we had grown up in a society that was truly integrated and healthy in relation to gender and sexuality. The entire fabric of human society would be vastly different from what we know today. ~ William Keepin
Gender Inequality quotes by William Keepin
How can I believe the people that say women have equal rights? When the worst insult a man can be called is a woman, girly, a twat, a cunt, that he needs to 'man up' and the list goes on. My gender is not an insult. I'm tired of all this shit. ~ Laura Bates
Gender Inequality quotes by Laura Bates
Before dinner men meet with great inequality of understanding; and those who are conscious of their inferiority have the modesty not to talk; when they have drunk wine, every man feels himself happy, and loses that modesty, and grows impudent and vociferous; but he is not improved; he is only not sensible of his defects. ~ Samuel Johnson
Gender Inequality quotes by Samuel Johnson
This is a battlefield, Faith! Women find themselves on battlefields, just as men do. We are given no weapons, and cannot be seen to fight. But fight we must, or perish. ~ Frances Hardinge
Gender Inequality quotes by Frances Hardinge
I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic, I guess. ~ Ani DiFranco
Gender Inequality quotes by Ani DiFranco
Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance. ~ Kofi Annan
Gender Inequality quotes by Kofi Annan
It seems to me that the greatest triumph of any human rights movement, be it fighting for racial, religious, sexual or gender equality – is to achieve that moment where eyes are opened so wide that a sort of blindness sets in. I don't care if someone is black, white, gay or straight. I don't care if a woman has children or no – I just want to know who they are. [...] At the end of the day, gender differences seem to me to be just a tiny, tiny drop in the great expanse of things that make people unique. Unique, not 'different', not 'other' merely another piece of that great teaming mass that makes up the wonderfully rich, thrillingly varied definition of 'humanity'."

[Playing Butch: Blog entry, February 24, 2014] ~ Kate Griffin
Gender Inequality quotes by Kate Griffin
If gender attributes and acts, the various ways in which a body shows or produces its cultural signification, are performative, then there is no preexisting identity by which an act or attribute might be measured; there would be no true or false, real or distorted acts of gender, and the postulation of a true gender identity would be revealed as a regulatory fiction.That gender reality is created through sustained social performances means that the very notions of an essential sex and a true or abiding masculinity or femininity are also constituted as part of the strategy that conceals gender's performative character and the performative possibilities for proliferating gender configurations outside the restricting frames of masculinist domination and compulsory heterosexuality. ~ Judith Butler
Gender Inequality quotes by Judith Butler
There is no morality in inequality. Anyone who says otherwise is damn liar, and a hypocrite. ~ Cain S. Latrani
Gender Inequality quotes by Cain S. Latrani
Peacemakers who challenge the prevailing concept of peace achieved by violence are often, ironically, called disturbers of the peace. That is only true if peace is defined as an uneasy ceasefire in a world dominated by the corrupt, a tenuous subjugation of the weak by the powerful, a hurting humanity suffering silently en mass for the profit of the bloated few. If, though, peace is defined as freedom, equality, safety, health, opportunity, and a voice for all, then we, the peacemakers, aren't disturbers of the peace. We are purveyors of peace because we are disturbers of the status quo. ~ L.R. Knost
Gender Inequality quotes by L.R. Knost
By understanding and increasing just this one capacity of the human brain, an enormous amount of social change can be fostered. Failure to understand and cultivate empathy, however, could lead to a society in which no one would want to live - a cold, violent, chaotic, and terrifying war of all against all. This destructive type of culture has appeared repeatedly in various times and places in human history and still reigns in some parts of the world. And it's a culture that we could be inadvertently developing throughout America if we do not address current trends in child rearing, education, economic inequality, and our core values. ~ Bruce D. Perry
Gender Inequality quotes by Bruce D. Perry
We are all the same. God has not chosen one group above another. When we dare to be aware, we will raise our understanding and compassion and see everyone as part of the universal energy of God. We will be free of prejudice and hatred based on someone's color, race, sex, or gender preference. God is not limited. Only humans limit their thinking. ~ James Van Praagh
Gender Inequality quotes by James Van Praagh
You think I didn't choose these clothes and this haircut specifically to avoid being stuffed into one pigeonhole or another? I'm gender fluid. Not stupid ~ Jeff Garvin
Gender Inequality quotes by Jeff Garvin
A pronoun, too, will aptly reflect the number of its antecedent: "they" does not refer to one person, no matter how many personalities she or he has, or how eager you are to skirt the gender frays. ~ Karen Elizabeth Gordon
Gender Inequality quotes by Karen Elizabeth Gordon
It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen. ~ Dolly Parton
Gender Inequality quotes by Dolly Parton
As long as there is racial privilege, racism will never end. ~ Wayne Gerard Trotman
Gender Inequality quotes by Wayne Gerard Trotman
Stop pointing that damned gun at me! You are scaring my children. See, they're crying. You've upset them. It's okay babies. Daddy is talking to this nasty policeman. I'm sorry he is being such a mean man. We'll get something to eat in a few minutes. ~ Mark M. Bello
Gender Inequality quotes by Mark M. Bello
The climb is different even though the destination is same. Ultimately it all depends on 'What I Want' which determine success.
And 'I' is gender neutral! ~ Anuranjita Kumar
Gender Inequality quotes by Anuranjita Kumar
saw religion in Odessa used not to reinforce religious beliefs at all but as an excuse for people to come together and be made comfortable with their own social beliefs in racial and gender bigotry. ~ H. G. Bissinger
Gender Inequality quotes by H. G. Bissinger
Think of how hard it would be to create a gender-based movement across racial lines as long as one group believes that it has to be strong while seeing the other group as passive and weak. We could also go into the stereotypes of the saucy, mercurial Latina and the docile, easily-dominated Asian woman. ~ Melissa Harris-Perry
Gender Inequality quotes by Melissa Harris-Perry
Men have been joining together to support the emancipation of women and male gender role development for at least a century. Floyd Dell, a prophet of men's liberation, wrote in 1914, "It is feminism that will truly set men free," and his prophecy is becoming a reality. One hundred years later, it is women's independence and rejection of conventional roles that challenge men to broaden their own roles. ~ Charlie Donaldson
Gender Inequality quotes by Charlie Donaldson
There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender ... identity is performatively constituted by the very 'expressions' that are said to be its results. ~ Judith Butler
Gender Inequality quotes by Judith Butler
What's on the other side of the tiny gigantic revolution in which I move from loathing to loving my own skin? What fruits would that particular liberation bear?
We don't know-as a culture, as a gender, as individuals, you and I. The fact that we don't know is feminism's one true failure. We claimed the agency, we granted ourselves the authority, we gathered the accolades, but we never stopped worrying about how our asses looked in our jeans. ~ Cheryl Strayed
Gender Inequality quotes by Cheryl Strayed
Give ten children a toy box, and watch them select ten different toys, regardless of gender or religion or parental expectations. Children have preferences. The danger comes when they, as with any human, are denied those preferences for too long. ~ Seanan McGuire
Gender Inequality quotes by Seanan McGuire
We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. ~ Barack Obama
Gender Inequality quotes by Barack Obama
The art of becoming 'rich', in the common sense, is not absolutely nor finally the art of accumulating much money for ourselves, but also of contriving that our neighbour shall have less. In accurate terms, it is 'the art of establishing the maximum inequality in your own favour'. ~ John Ruskin
Gender Inequality quotes by John Ruskin
I cant take it like this much longer, Milt," Karen said muffledly into the big CKC shirt with its male smell, allowing herself the luxury of letting the bars all the way down for once, enjoying for just this moment the eternal degradation of being a woman.
"I cant take it much longer," she whimpered, tasting it, the eternally caught and held hard in the grasp of some man, the forever humiliated heavy weight it was impossible to squirm out from under, the forever helpless except for the mercy of him who always takes what he wants without any, and that all women learn instinctively not to expect [ ... ] That was all they wanted. That was all any of them wanted. You give them the greatest thing you possess, the most intimate secret, and they
just take it. Well, let them have it. Let them all have some of it. Let them root and rut and rowel, as if it was no more important than that why were they all so anxious to keep it away from each other? ~ James Jones
Gender Inequality quotes by James Jones
The contrast between an apparent concern about poverty and lack of concern about inequality was nicely summarized recently by English historian David Kynaston: "Everyone is happy talking about eliminating poverty, because this looks like an admirable and ethical response to the problem of inequality, while leaving the structures of power untouched. ~ Branko Milanovic
Gender Inequality quotes by Branko Milanovic
Patriarchy has no gender. ~ Bell Hooks
Gender Inequality quotes by Bell Hooks
Cities allow us to extract some of the transactional services that were assumed to be an integral, gendered aspect of traditional marriage and enjoy them as actual transactional service, for which we pay. This dynamic also permits women to function in the world in a way that was once impossible, with the city serving as spouse and, sometimes, true love. ~ Rebecca Traister
Gender Inequality quotes by Rebecca Traister
I dont see things with gender, race and culture ~ Rad Hourani
Gender Inequality quotes by Rad Hourani
Being a true bad ass has no weight or gender requirement - just 100% commitment to greatness. ~ Dwayne Johnson
Gender Inequality quotes by Dwayne Johnson
My own definition is a feminist is a man or a woman who says, yes, there's a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it, we must do better. All of us, women and men, must do better. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Gender Inequality quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
To Witches, the cosmos is the living body of the Goddess, in whose being we all partake, who encompasses us and is immanent within us. We call her Goddess not to narrowly define her gender, but as a continual reminder that what we value is life brought into the world ... She has infinite names and guises, many of them male. ~ Starhawk
Gender Inequality quotes by Starhawk
The gender prism is just descending upon us. For instance, when we're girls of nine or 10 we may be climbing trees and saying, "I know what I want. I know what I think." And then suddenly at 11 or 12, the gender role takes hold, and adults tell us, "How clever of you to know what time it is." It happens to boys, too and even sooner - between five and eight. Before that, boys cry and express uncertainty. ~ Gloria Steinem
Gender Inequality quotes by Gloria Steinem
