I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.'

I don't think that women being seen as inferior is a prejudice based on male hatred of women. When you look at history, it's a prejudice based on simple fact.

Men seem unable to feel equal to women: they must be superior or they are inferior.

I was in fact pretty much - by the larger culture, by the local culture, by people around me, by people on TV - encouraged to imagine women as something slightly inferior to men.

As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.

Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.

I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.

I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men; they are far superior and always have been.

We are still living with a double standard. I know it. Every woman I know knows it, whether you're in the media as a woman, or you're in the professions or business or politics.
