Double Universal

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or universal:

    “Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
    —Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

    “The great universal family of men is a utopia worthy of the most mediocre logic.”
    —Isidore Ducasse, Comte de LautrĂ©amont (1846–1870)
