Societal Preference Order

Famous quotes containing the words societal, preference and/or order:

    “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.

    —Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

    “Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.”
    —Basil Hume (b. 1923)

    “I thought that the chief thing to be done in order to equal boys was to be learned and courageous. So I decided to study Greek and learn to manage a horse.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
