"No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her self." 

Susan B. Anthony, 1872

A Little Help Preparing for Friday QuoteDay?

Me: "Mr. B, what's your favorite quote?"

Mr. B, engrossed in Angry Birds, "'The rest is silence,' from Hamlet."

Me, impressed at his Shakespearean knowledge: "Really?"

Mr. B: "Yep. At the end, after everyone stabs everyone. With poison-tipped swords."

Pause.

Mr. B: "It was also in Hair."

Me: "Ah. That's why."

Friday QuoteDay

“Whenever anyone has called me a bitch, I have taken it as a compliment. To me, a bitch is assertive, unapologetic, demanding, intimidating, intelligent, fiercely protective, in control—all very positive attributes. But it’s not supposed to be a compliment, because there’s that old, stupid double standard: When men are aggressive and dominant, they are admired, but when a woman possesses those same qualities, she is dismissed and called a bitch.” 

— Margaret Cho, actress, comedian and activist.
