Mikhail GorbachevWhat some men don't understand is that by opposing policies to reduce violence, promote equal pay and universal healthcare and voting to limit access to contraception and legal abortion, they are relegating women to another century, a time when men ruled exclusively and women were considered property and had to be guided by a firm masculine hand.
Madeleine M. KuninThe feminists are trying to tell women that there is really no difference between them and men.
