Gender Discrimination Quotes

“If you call yourself an "authoress" on your Facebook profile, you suck at life. You are stupid and your children are ugly. It doesn't matter if you're just trying to be cute and original. You're not. You are about as original as all those other witless twits "writing" the one millionth shitty Fifty Shades clone. Or maybe you're trying to show your 2000 fake Facebook "friends" that you are an empowered feminist who will not stand for sexist terminology. But you're not showing people that you are fighting the good fight, you're showing people that you are a sheep, who's trying just a little too hard to ride the current wave of idiotic political correctness. The word "author" is no more gender-discrimination than the word "person." Do you call yourself a personess? No, of course not, because then you might as well wear a sign around your neck that says, "Hello, I'm a retard.”

“Why should women have to give up their name upon marriage, as if they are nothing but hood ornaments to their husbands! And why should a child be identified only by their father’s name and not the mother’s, who by the way, is the root of all creation - who is creation! We are never going to have a civilized society with equity as foundation, unless we acknowledge and abolish such filthy habits that we’ve been practicing as tradition.

Showing off our skin-deep support for equality few days a year doesn’t eliminate all the discriminations from the world, we have to live each day as the walking proof of equality, ascension and assimilation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work

“For three decades I have lived within a silence that declares periods too embarrassing, too unwanted, too female to talk about out loud. I have done this for so long that I almost no longer notice it. Almost. Bur now I am sick of the silence and the secrecy and the warped idea that blood is taboo when it comes out of a vagina. Because it is just not fucking good enough. To hell with covering up, with being embarrassed, with being silent.”
― Emilie Pine, Notes To Self

“If a woman has to look good to be noticed, then such a society is still living in stone-age.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Girl Over God: The Novel

― Abhijit Naskar, The Bengal Tigress: A Treatise on Gender Equality

“Women are not there to spike testosterone.”
― Abhijit Naskar

― Abhijit Naskar, Heart Force One: Need No Gun to Defend Society

“Worship of balls is but a prehistoric mania. There will be no balls without a vagina.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Handcrafted Humanity: 100 Sonnets For A Blunderful World

“There are slightly more women than men in the world – 52 per cent of the world’s population is female but most of the positions of power and prestige are occupied by men. The late Kenyan Nobel peace laureate Wangari Maathai put it simply and well when she said, ‘The higher you go, the fewer women there are.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“Women have always been at par with men when it comes to their abilities; it is just that both men and women are gifted differently. Women are more intelligent, while men exhibit traits of being intellectuals. Hypothetically if there is a weighing scale to weigh the abilities of what men can achieve and women can achieve, I am confident that the scale will be balanced. I think creating such awareness will do much good rather than reclaiming something which naturally exists.”
― Henrietta Newton Martin - Legal Counsel & Author

“War is a masculine merchandise.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo

“So you don't know whether you were a man or a woman in life.

No and I don't see why it matters. Humans are so tedious. Oh, you have dangly bits. Congratulations, you're going to put on armour and swing a sword about. Oh, you've ended up with the other kind. Too bad-time to either have babies or become a nun.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Vespertine

― Michael Jerryson, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road: Buddhism, Politics, and Violence

“Until recently, career women were frowned upon, and those who stayed at home were respected - now the situation has gotten reversed - not better mark you, just reversed. Now career women are respected, and those who give up their career, or step down to a less demanding position, in order to raise a family, are object of ridicule. This is not progress, it’s recurring regress. Substituting one authoritarian cruelty with another is not progress, it’s recurring regress - which is also the case when you ban hijab in the name of freedom.”
