Måndag morgon, dags för nya tag. Denna omgång på engelska, då jag är för lat för att översätta och då jag antar att ni tar er fram även på det språket. Jag kavlar upp ärmarna och börjar med…
Leonard C Horn, Miss America Pageant Director (som inte vill vara med på bild) on why a swimsuit competition is necessary:
”If you’re looking for a role model, you can’t have someone who is not physically fit. Margaret Mead was a good role model, but she may not have looked good in a swimsuit.”
Professor Hans Friedenthal, Berlin University, 1914, on the problems of womens emancipation:
”Brain work will cause her to become bald, while increasing masculinity and contemp for beauty will induce the growth of hair on the face. In the future, therefore, women will be bald and will wear long moustaches and patriarchal beards.”
Nicholas Romanov, descendant of last Czar of Russia Nicholas II, on the meeting to form a family foundation:
”There has been no exclusion. We have simply excluded all the women.”
Charles Poncy, Iowa State Representative:
”What really causes marital abuse is small families. If all women had a lot of brothers, this would never take place.”
Och så avslutar jag med en riktig favorit – Pat Robertson, som uttryckte sig så här 1992:
”Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.”
Underbart!
