I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If someone tried to deprive you of your rights, you've got to resist it. You've got to resent it. You've got to fight against it.
I'm so lucky to have been raised the way I have, because my parents believed that everyone had the right to their own feelings, opinions, and existence; as long as they weren't harming others, you had to defend those rights.
To be honest, sometimes you have to know your rights.
I was an American citizen, and I had as many rights as anyone else.
It had never crossed my mind that a man could think he had the right to stop me from being who I was.
You can't fight for your rights if you don't know what they are.
I demanded more rights for women because I know what women had to put up with.
I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights.
It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.
To be in a situation where you have no rights whatsoever is something I wish everybody could experience. People's attitudes would change. It would be a better place.
