Famous quotes containing the words male and/or chauvinism:
“There shall be no slave in your home, male or female: Least of all the mother of your son.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Is it impossible not to wonder why a movement which professes concern for the fate of all women has dealt so unkindly, contemptuously, so destructively, with so significant a portion of its sisterhood. Can it be that those who would reorder society perceive as the greater threat not the chauvinism of men or the pernicious attitudes of our culture, but rather the impulse to mother within women themselves?”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
