2. “To qualify the term ‘boss’ by adding ‘girl’ or ‘babe’ or ‘honey’ or ‘pink’ or whatever other ridiculous, antiquated-gender role assignment the media thinks is cute this month, is, at the least, disrespectful and at the worst, damaging to the way young women view themselves and our fight for equality in the business world.”

14. “Only the trees and beasts and birds tell unmitigated truths, because these poor things have not the power to invent. In this men show their superiority to the lower creatures, and women beat even men. Neither is a profusion of ornament unbecoming for a woman, nor a profusion of untruth.” Rabindranath Tagore Truth, Nature, Human Nature, Gender Roles, Societal Critique
28. “It was not that ladies were inferior to men; it was that they were different. Their mission was to inspire others to achievement rather than to achieve themselves. Indirectly, by means of tact and a spotless name, a lady could accomplish much. But if she rushed into the fray herself she would be first censured, then despised, and finally ignored.” E.M. Forster Gender Roles, Inspiration, Influence, Respectability, Tact, Indirect Accomplishment
