Anti- Feminist Sentiments

"I saw the State was half-witted, that it was timid as a lone woman with her silver spoons"
- Henry David Thoreau - from "Civil Disobedience"

"The male is natrually fitter to command than the female, except where there is some departure from nature...We must therefore hold that what the poet said of women 'A modest silence is a woman's crown' contains a general truth - but a truth which does not apply to men"
- Aristotle - from "Politics"

"The struggle for the ballot was almost bloodless, almost completely peaceful, and astonishingly easy. Indeed the bulk of the newly enfranchised, including Negroes and nearly all women, won battles they never fought. The whole thing has been deceptively easy."
- Schatschneider - "The Semisovereign People"

"The testimony of an ordinary person is different from the testimony of someone who hires herself out to dance naked in front of and, yes, sometimes sleep with ... strangers...It's OK to have a bias against strippers in this case, isn't it?...I'm merely saying that her testimony about matters of sex is to be taken by ordinary commonsense people a little differently than the testimony of someone who isn't a crypto-hooker."
- Tucker Carlson - Interview with Wendy Murphy
