We need a temporary cessation in people having any opinions about any women, ever. I propose a, say, five-year moratorium on having opinions about women, in order to let one generation of girls get from one side of puberty to the other without growing up in a climate where women are constantly being scolded, chivvied, harassed, or subjected to thunderous opinion columns concluding that, yet again, some woman in the public eye has overreached herself and should wind her neck in.

About This Quote

We all have something to say about women. Whether it is about their looks, weight, or whether they are dressing up too much or not enough. The power of women in the world is something that everyone feels strongly about. Some people feel that women are the stronger sex, others feel that they are being oppressed by society.

There are even those that believe that men are the weaker sex and that they have to have all power over them. For some reason, there is a lot of controversy surrounding this one topic.
