I do not believe in sex distinction in literature, law, politics, or trade - or that modesty and virtue are more becoming to women than to men, but wish we had more of it everywhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Sexism kind of predisposes us to see men's work as more important than women's, and it is a problem, I guess, as writers, we have to change.
I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.
I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.
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.
Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.
Sex and gender are such befuddling mysteries even for those of us who are in the mainstream that you'd think we'd be wary of being judgmental. Yet much of society clings to a view that gender is completely binary, when, in fact, there's overwhelming evidence of a continuum.
Men are every bit as gendered as women.
Masculine ideals have become very confused in the modern world.
One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.
