Standard Part

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or part:

    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)

    We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
