Freedom of choice for women, at the expense of the caring, warmth, and sensitivity to others so often associated with them, may be empty. In the thrust to redefine male and female roles, women must not become men; nor can men be permitted the continual dehumanization of their roles.
—Kathleen Weibel (b. 1945)
In any service where a couple hold down jobs as a team, the male generally takes his ease while the wife labors at his job as well as her own.
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
I prize the purity of his character as highly as I do that of hers. As a moral being, whatever it is morally wrong for her to do, it is morally wrong for him to do. The fallacious doctrine of male and female virtues has well nigh ruined all that is morally great and lovely in his character: he has been quite as deep a sufferer by it as woman, though mostly in different respects and by other processes.
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
