Male Heir

Famous quotes containing the words male and/or heir:

    There is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
    Bible: New Testament Galatians 3:28.

    We do the same thing to parents that we do to children. We insist that they are some kind of categorical abstraction because they produced a child. They were people before that, and they’re still people in all other areas of their lives. But when it comes to the state of parenthood they are abruptly heir to a whole collection of virtues and feelings that are assigned to them with a fine arbitrary disregard for individuality.
    Leontine Young (20th century)
