Down with Equality

March 7, 2020

 

Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst, c. 1908 (Wikipedia)

“WOMEN, I contend, are not men’s equals in anything but responsibility. We are not their inferiors, either, or even their superiors. We are quite simply different races. We live by an impulse separate from that of men. A separate tide beats in our blood. Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working-out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point. Yet, for the first time in history, society takes no cognizance of it.”

— Phyllis McGinley, “The Honor of Being a Woman,” The Province of the Heart; Viking Press, 1959, pp 13-14
