Man is more courageous, pugnacious, and energetic than woman, and has a more inventive genius. His brain is absolutely larger, but... whether or not proportionally to his larger body, has not, I believe, been fully ascertained. In woman the face is rounder; the jaws and the base of skull smaller; the outlines of the body rounder, in parts more prominent; and her pelvis is broader than in man; but this latter character may perhaps be considered rather as a primary than a secondary sexual character. She comes to maturity at an earlier age than man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But this fully answered John's purpose toward Betty, for as she did not understand, she highly admired him; and he concluded by ag...ain repeating that learning was a fine thing for a man but 'twas both useless and blameworthy for a woman either to write or read.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Having a book is somewhat like having a baby, as many woman writers have observed before me: the conception, the long preparation,... the wait, the growing heaviness (not of body in this case but of the spirit and the manuscript) toward the end, the initial delight at the sight of the product, fully formed and seemingly perfect, and then the usual postpartum depression. What will people whose opinion I care about, and those whose views I don't value but have weight in the world of reader, think of it?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The "female culture" has shifted more rapidly than the "male culture"; the image of the go-get 'em woman has yet to be fully match...ed by the image of the let's take-care-of-the-kids- together man. More important, over the last thirty years, men's underlying feelings about taking responsibility at home have changed much less than women's feelings have changed about forging some kind of identity at work.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,... So, to fill out her model, a little she spared From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared, And she could not have hit a more excellent plan For making him fully and perfectly man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We agree fully that the mother and unborn child demand special consideration. But so does the soldier and the man maimed in indust...ry. Industrial conditions that are suitable for a stalwart, young, unmarried woman are certainly not equally suitable to the pregnant woman or the mother of young children. Yet "welfare" laws apply to all women alike. Such blanket legislation is as absurd as fixing industrial conditions for men on a basis of their all being wounded soldiers would be.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch.... I know of no other books that... so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man or man independent of woman. For just as woman came from man, so man com...es through woman; but all things come from God.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Why, since man and woman were created for each other, had He made their desires so dissimilar? Why should one class of women be ab...le to dwell in luxurious seclusion from the trials of life, while another class performed their loathsome tasks? Surely His wisdom had not decreed that one set of women should live in degradation and in the end should perish that others might live in security, preserve their frappeed chastity, and in the end be saved.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Alvy Singer: You look like a really happy couple. Are you? Woman on Street: Yeah.... Alvy Singer: Yeah? So how do you account for it? Woman on Street: I'm very shallow and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say. Man on Street: And I'm exactly the same way.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
