'never call yourself a feminist, because a feminist are those who are unhappy and cannot find husband'
'ideas of gender have not evolved'
'must raise our daughters differently, we must also raise our sons differently'
'we use the words respect to mean something a woman shows a man, but not often what a man shows a woman'
'the language of marriage is often the language of ownership rather than partnership'
'we teach females that in relationships, compromise is what women do'

beyonce song quote from nigosi adichie
“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.”

'she has been taught that to be a 'good wife material' she has to be…'homely'
'the problem with gender is that is prescribes how we should be other then recognising who we are'

"The most effective way to do it is to do it." Amelia Earhart

"Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn't be done.Amelia Earhart

'One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.' Maya Angelou
