Three quotes;
"How good does a female athlete have to be before we just call her an athlete?" -- Unknown
(Joni Mitchell said something quite like this, that she didn't want to be considered the top female songwriter, she wanted to be the top songwriter.)
"One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man." -- Marlo Thomas (b. 1937-11-21)
"We don't know what her impact is completely yet, and one of the things I've found kind of comforting about Sarah Palin was that it did feel like we'd gotten to the point where if a woman did something really stupid or said something really stupid, you didn't feel like the entire sex was guilty. You could just take it one person at a time." -- Gail Collins, on the PBS television program Tavis Smiley, 2009-11-16
