On one issue, at least, men and women agree: they both distrust women.

About This Quote

This quote is a bit sexist, as it seems to say that men and women don’t trust each other. However, the original author of this quote stated that they don’t trust women in general, and that they don’t trust women in the workplace. This quote was taken from a book written in 1967 by John Gunther: “Friendly Enemies: A War Story of German-Americans and Jews in America.”
