Women's Rights are Human Rights

Quotes of Martin Luther King Jr. as they might apply to women, the forgotten ones in the March for Civil Rights (my words in bold)

A right delayed is a right denied.

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes (women) in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

(S)He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. (S)He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin (or their genitals), but by the content of their character.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching (beating and raping) me, and I think that's pretty important.

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

We must learn to live together as brothers (sisters) or perish together as fools.

Anybody want to take a bet on how Ms. Brazile and the rest of the Rules and By-Law Committee will vote on this? Guess Obama and his cronies aren't even going to consider ACORN, caucus fraud or voter intimidation.

Did You Think Our Work Was Done?

New Years Resolution:

Resolved that in 2010 no woman running for office will be subjected to the sexism and misogyny that brought down Hillary and Sarah.

Food for thought:


The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths. ~Lois Wyse

The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, "It's a girl." ~Shirley Chisholm

We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters. ~Gloria Steinem

One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man. ~Marlo Thomas

Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. ~Author Unknown

Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes." ~Clare Boothe Luce

[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. ~Pat Robertson

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. ~Timothy Leary

The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source. ~Lucretia Mott

Resolved, that the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776. ~Susan B. Anthony ( and still so in 2010 msbehaved)

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less. ~Susan B. Anthony

I asked a Burmese why women, after centuries of following their men, now walk ahead. He said there were many unexploded land mines since the war. ~Robert Mueller

I am working for the time when unqualified blacks, browns, and women join the unqualified men in running our government. ~Cissy Farenthold

I think it's about time we voted for senators with breasts. After all, we've been voting for boobs long enough. ~Clarie Sargent, Arizona senatorial candidate

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute. ~Rebecca West, "Mr Chesterton in Hysterics: A Study in Prejudice," The Clarion, 14 Nov 1913, reprinted in The Young Rebecca, 1982

Women are People, too!

Undomesticated Violence and Political Asylum

There is nothing "tame" about the violence women suffer at the hands of their intimate partners.
