About This Quote

“Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women everywhere” is a famous quote by Gloria Steinem. This quote tells us that we should not fit into the roles society has prescribed for us, and that we should find a way to break those rules.

The problem with the quote though is that it doesn’t always apply. For example, if our country was being invaded by terrorists and we were told to get in our cars immediately and drive to safety, we would have no choice but to obey. In this case, the situation overrides our ability to make decisions for ourselves.

In other words, in certain situations we must follow orders even if they don’t seem right at the time.
