It is estimated that raising the retirement age to 70 would cut the shortfall by about 36%. But this proposal has some drawbacks. Women and men who have worked jobs that require manual labor all of their lives may not physically be able to do work until they are 70 years old. — Steve Israel
![Raising Women Quotes By Daisaku Ikeda Raising Women Quotes By Daisaku Ikeda](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-daisaku-ikeda-337233.jpg)
Women are, in my view, natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life, through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life, they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities. — Daisaku Ikeda

You're not safe to go back there," he said.
"I'm going," I returned.
"We'll see."
Jeez, there was just no shaking this guy.
"You do know that there's this little thing called the Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote?" I asked.
"I heard of that," he said and there was a smile in his voice.
"And there's this whole movement called fem ... in ... is ... im." I said it slowly, like he was a dim child. "Where women started working, demanding equal pay for equal work, raising their voices on issues of the day, taking back the night, stuff like that."
He rolled into me, which made me roll onto my back.
"Sounds familiar."
"Do you have an encyclopedia? Maybe we can look it up. If the words are too big for you to read, I'l read it out loud and explain as I go along."
He got up on his elbow. "Only if you do it naked." I slapped his shoulder. — Kristen Ashley
![Raising Women Quotes By Spencer W. Kimball Raising Women Quotes By Spencer W. Kimball](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-spencer-w-kimball-256559.jpg)
We make no apology then for raising our voices loud to a world that is ripening in sin the lord has said, Say nothing but repentance unto this generation; The adversary is subtle, cunning, he knows that he cannot induce good men and women immediately to do major evils so he moves slyly, whispering half truths until he has his intended victims following him finally he clamps his chains upon them and fetters them tight, and then he laughs at their discomfiture and their misery. — Spencer W. Kimball
![Raising Women Quotes By Antony Hegarty Raising Women Quotes By Antony Hegarty](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-antony-hegarty-499178.jpg)
Everyone has a spectrum of masculinity and femininity inside them. In every individual, a war of misogyny is raging. Every man is repressing and oppressing the femininity within themselves, raising up male values as governing values. Because that's what we've been taught to do, just as every woman has. Misogyny isn't just something that affects women. It affects men. — Antony Hegarty
![Raising Women Quotes By David Grand Raising Women Quotes By David Grand](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-david-grand-2171230.jpg)
The land afterward was cleared by oxen, the fallen trees stripped of their bark and cut for lumber that would be used in the construction of the villa, in which the women would live as servants, on whose property their daughters terraced the mountain for orange and lemon groves, where they could see to the east from the peak of Mount Terminus their sons raising swine in the valley below. — David Grand
![Raising Women Quotes By Richard John Neuhaus Raising Women Quotes By Richard John Neuhaus](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-richard-john-neuhaus-898325.jpg)
Whatever else the religious Right may be, it is a bonanza for its opponents ... Reports of the great terror that is upon us are raising millions of dollars in fund appeals by Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Organization for Women, Norman Lear's People for the American Way, and others who claim to believe that the religious Right is the greatest peril to American democracy since Joe McCarthy. — Richard John Neuhaus
![Raising Women Quotes By Brigid Schulte Raising Women Quotes By Brigid Schulte](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-brigid-schulte-1159207.jpg)
What if not just women, but both men and women, worked smart, more flexible schedules? What if the workplace itself was more fluid than the rigid and narrow ladder to success of the ideal worker? And what if both men and women became responsible for raising children and managing the home, sharing work, love, and play? Could everyone then live whole lives? — Brigid Schulte
![Raising Women Quotes By Eve Ensler Raising Women Quotes By Eve Ensler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-eve-ensler-1607773.jpg)
V-day is a movement: an organized effort to finally end violence against women.
V-Day is a vision: we see a civilization where women live in freedom and safety.
V-Day is a spirit: affirming that life should be live creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities.
V-Day is a catalyst: by raising wide public awareness of the issue, it will reinvigorates efforts already under way and commence new initiatives in publicity, education, and law.
V-Day is a vital ongoing process: we proclaim Valentine's Day as V'day until the violence against women stops, and the it will become Victory Day. — Eve Ensler
![Raising Women Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg Raising Women Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-sheryl-sandberg-1793690.jpg)
Many have argued with me that ambition is not the problem. Women are not less ambitious than men, they insist, but more enlightened with different and more meaningful goals. I do not dismiss or dispute this argument. There is far more to life than climbing a career ladder, including raising children, seeking personal fulfillment, contributing to society, and improving the lives of others. And there are many people who are deeply committed to their jobs but do not - and should not have to - aspire to run their organizations. Leadership roles are not the only way to have profound impact. — Sheryl Sandberg
![Raising Women Quotes By Crystal Eastman Raising Women Quotes By Crystal Eastman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-crystal-eastman-2221926.jpg)
What is the problem of women's freedom? It seems to me to be this: how to arrange the world so that women can be human beings, with a chance to exercise their infinitely varied gifts in infinitely varied ways, instead of being destined by the accident of their sex to one field of activity
housework and child-raising. And second, if and when they choose housework and child-raising to have that occupation recognized by the world as work, requiring a definite economic reward and not merely entitling the performer to be dependent on some man. — Crystal Eastman
![Raising Women Quotes By Jessica Valenti Raising Women Quotes By Jessica Valenti](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-jessica-valenti-757746.jpg)
I'm talking about the soul-crushing drudgery of day-to-day parenthood that we're too embarrassed to talk about. The boredom, the stress, the nagging dissatisfaction, and the sense of personal failure that parents feel when raising a kid isn't all it's cracked up to be. Perhaps worst of all is the guilt that so many women buy into because they're too ashamed to admit that despite the love they have for their kids, child rearing can be a tedious and thankless undertaking. — Jessica Valenti
![Raising Women Quotes By David Gates Raising Women Quotes By David Gates](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-david-gates-1691932.jpg)
That fist he was raising at me would wham into the cupboard door, hurting only himself. I saw it all happening, then it really did happen. But I didn't understand the whore thing. Why was he confusing the drinking with the other? Then I got it. Obvious. It was all mixed up for him, all the same thing: the drinking, the other, anything that could make a woman free. — David Gates
![Raising Women Quotes By Rachel Maddow Raising Women Quotes By Rachel Maddow](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-rachel-maddow-2125011.jpg)
Feminism is itself a challenge. Feminism is a challenge to the way things are in the world. It is by definition an oppositional movement, because it's trying to accomplish something. I've never felt like feminism was a consciousness raising effort in isolation. Everything about feminism is about getting something in the world to get better for women, and to get the world to be less stupid on gender bifurcation terms. I think that feminism over time gets better, or it gets better and worse and better and worse at achieving the goals that it's trying to achieve, but the overall mission stays the same. I guess I don't think of it as feminism versus anti-feminism; I sort of think of it as feminism versus the world. I don't think of it as a competition; there's no winning. In feminism, you're always trying to make stuff better. It's opposition to which you cannot attribute a tally. — Rachel Maddow
![Raising Women Quotes By Marge Piercy Raising Women Quotes By Marge Piercy](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-marge-piercy-475060.jpg)
Shall I tell you something I've been noticing? The mistrust this society has for women. All kinds of experts and officials are terrified because so many women are working. They really think that women have to be coerced into having babies and raising kids. — Marge Piercy
![Raising Women Quotes By Gloria Steinem Raising Women Quotes By Gloria Steinem](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-gloria-steinem-1621501.jpg)
The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible. — Gloria Steinem
![Raising Women Quotes By A.G. Howard Raising Women Quotes By A.G. Howard](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-a-g-howard-1495763.jpg)
Raising one hand, he tilts his hat to that sexy slant. "You want me. Admit it."
Even if he's partly right, I'll never tell him. "Why would I want you?"
He lifts three fingers to countdown. "Mysterious. Rebellious. Troubled. All those qualities women find irresistible."
"Such an optimist."
"My cup is never empty."
"Too bad your brain is." The words bite, but my smile softens with affection. — A.G. Howard
![Raising Women Quotes By Robert Jordan Raising Women Quotes By Robert Jordan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-robert-jordan-1592104.jpg)
I grew up around strong women; weak men were pickled and salted. The women wouldn't waste time raising a weak boy. — Robert Jordan
![Raising Women Quotes By Martina Mcbride Raising Women Quotes By Martina Mcbride](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-martina-mcbride-1552196.jpg)
Raising three girls, I think it's important to teach them to support other women. — Martina Mcbride
![Raising Women Quotes By Keary Taylor Raising Women Quotes By Keary Taylor](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-keary-taylor-1548676.jpg)
I want a husband who comes home from work and gives me a kiss on the cheek and wraps his arms around me from behind. For some women these days, that would never be enough. The world tells us we have to gain prestigious careers and balance everything while wearing high heels and having no body fat. But what could be more prestigious than raising other people? Than making someone else feel that they are loved beyond anything else? — Keary Taylor
![Raising Women Quotes By Sarah Ruhl Raising Women Quotes By Sarah Ruhl](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-sarah-ruhl-1510430.jpg)
It was important to me that people know that you can make plays and raise children at the same time - for other mothers, for other parents, for other women considering having children and who want to be working and thinking and contemplating and making things while they're raising children. — Sarah Ruhl
![Raising Women Quotes By Andre Aciman Raising Women Quotes By Andre Aciman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-andre-aciman-1836271.jpg)
As far as he was concerned, all women wanted all men. And vice versa. What stood in the way between a man and a woman at Cafe Algiers was a few chairs, a table, maybe a door
material distance. All a man needed was the will and above all the patience to wait out a woman's scruples or help her brush them aside. As in a game of penny poker, he explained, all that matters was simply the will to keep raising the pot by a single penny each time; a single penny, not two; a single penny was easy, you wouldn't even feel it; but you had to wait for her to raise you by a penny as well, which is when you'd raise her by another, she by yet another, and so on. Seduction was not pushing people into doing things they did not wish to do. Seduction was just keeping the pennies coming. — Andre Aciman
![Raising Women Quotes By Hillary Clinton Raising Women Quotes By Hillary Clinton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-hillary-clinton-1424891.jpg)
As women and as lawyers, we must never again shy from raising our voices against sexual harassment. — Hillary Clinton
![Raising Women Quotes By Paul Waters Raising Women Quotes By Paul Waters](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-paul-waters-1410576.jpg)
I remember Cannae," she said, raising her head, "when we thought all was lost. Carthage had defeated us, and there were those who gave up hope. Yet we survived, by our fortitude, and by believing that we should endure. There are times, Marcus, when courage is all you have."
I looked down at the stone floor, chastened into silence by her cold, stern words. This was her way, as it had always been. It was the Roman way. Grief was an indulgence; and though she surely suffered, her suffering was for her alone. It seemed hard, but she had come from a hard family, brave men and brave women who through the generations had survived by facing down hardship and loss. Of all her long line of ancestors, she was not going to be the one to break.
And nor, I decided, was I. — Paul Waters
![Raising Women Quotes By Tim Huelskamp Raising Women Quotes By Tim Huelskamp](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-tim-huelskamp-1406927.jpg)
Some men don't want to be responsible fathers. It's easier to say 'Let's just turn the kids over to the state.' Women end up bearing the entire load, raising kids alone without a husband to share the parenting. — Tim Huelskamp
![Raising Women Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg Raising Women Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-sheryl-sandberg-1404090.jpg)
[F]eminism wasn't supposed to make us feel guilty, or prod us into constant competition over who is raising children better, organizing more cooperative marriages, or getting less sleep. It was supposed to make us free -to give us not only choices but the ability to make these choices without constantly feeling that we'd somehow gotten it wrong. — Sheryl Sandberg
![Raising Women Quotes By James Magnussen Raising Women Quotes By James Magnussen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-james-magnussen-1256503.jpg)
Movember is an event that I've supported for a number of years. I haven't grown a moustache myself before, but I've always donated to others. I think that raising awareness for men's health is really important. You see a lot of initiatives - very public initiatives - around women's health, like breast cancer awareness and the like, but men's health issues tend to go more unnoticed. I think this is a great cause and I'm proud to support it. — James Magnussen
![Raising Women Quotes By Robert Reich Raising Women Quotes By Robert Reich](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-robert-reich-1739618.jpg)
Most Americans stopped looking at what was happening through a variety of coping mechanisms - starting with women entering paid work and then everyone working longer hours and using their homes for raising equity and generating more money through debt. The typical household basically staved off the day of reckoning. — Robert Reich
![Raising Women Quotes By Jill Lepore Raising Women Quotes By Jill Lepore](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-jill-lepore-1741844.jpg)
Between 1900 and 1930, the percentage of PhDs awarded to women doubled, and then, for three decades, it fell.6 The gains made by women in the beginning of the twentieth century were lost, everywhere, as women who had fought their way into colleges and graduate programs found that they were barred from the top ranks of the academy. No structural changes had been made that would have allowed women to pursue a life of the mind while raising children: many quit; many were kicked out; most gave up. — Jill Lepore
![Raising Women Quotes By Arthur Schopenhauer Raising Women Quotes By Arthur Schopenhauer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-arthur-schopenhauer-1820881.jpg)
I have not yet spoken my last word about women. I believe that if a woman succeeds in withdrawing from the mass, or rather raising herself from above the mass, she grows ceaselessly and more than a man. — Arthur Schopenhauer
![Raising Women Quotes By Taigi Smith Raising Women Quotes By Taigi Smith](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-taigi-smith-1178736.jpg)
Many of the white women at Mills who called themselves feminists didn't understand my experiences as a black woman. In women's studies classes, for example, the individual histories and struggles of black women were often ignored...I declared myself a womanist when I realized that white women's feminism really didn't speak to my needs as the daughter of a black, single, domestic worker. I felt that, historically, white women were working hard to liberate themselves from housework and childcare, while women of color got stuck cleaning their kitchens and raising their babies. When I realized that feminism largely liberated white women at the economic and social expense of women of color, I knew I was fundamentally unable to call myself a feminist. — Taigi Smith
![Raising Women Quotes By Shannon L. Alder Raising Women Quotes By Shannon L. Alder](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-shannon-l-alder-1881275.jpg)
To be a mother of a son is one of the most important things you can do to change the world. Raise them to respect women, raise them to stand up for others, raise them to care for the earth, raise them to be kind, compassionate and honest. If you do these things you are raising a leader-- someone that will affect the lives of countless people with their morality. Their future wife and children will thank you, but most of all Heavenly Father...for anyone can raise a son, but only a faithful Daughter of God can raise a warrior. — Shannon L. Alder
![Raising Women Quotes By Angelina Jolie Raising Women Quotes By Angelina Jolie](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-angelina-jolie-1901225.jpg)
I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn't complain. Consider all the people who really struggle and don't have the financial means, don't have the support, and many people are single raising children. That's hard. — Angelina Jolie
![Raising Women Quotes By Vladimir Nabokov Raising Women Quotes By Vladimir Nabokov](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-vladimir-nabokov-1918854.jpg)
Raising a cold eye from book to clock in the positively sultry Beardsley College library, among bulky young women caught and petrified in the overflow of human knowledge. — Vladimir Nabokov
![Raising Women Quotes By Madeleine M. Kunin Raising Women Quotes By Madeleine M. Kunin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-madeleine-m-kunin-1978685.jpg)
Women in leadership cannot cry without raising a storm of commentary. — Madeleine M. Kunin
![Raising Women Quotes By Barbara Ehrenreich Raising Women Quotes By Barbara Ehrenreich](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-barbara-ehrenreich-2014854.jpg)
No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children. — Barbara Ehrenreich
![Raising Women Quotes By Clyde Edgerton Raising Women Quotes By Clyde Edgerton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-clyde-edgerton-2034829.jpg)
As an older dad who grew up in a rural culture in the South, certain things were expected of women, and that included raising the children. But I think it's just as important for the father to give the baths, to hug, to change the diapers, to tell the stories. — Clyde Edgerton
![Raising Women Quotes By Jonathan Mills Raising Women Quotes By Jonathan Mills](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-jonathan-mills-2052897.jpg)
Shouldn't we at least be asking whether the transcending of venereal desire that marriage requires of a mostly or entirely 'heterosexual' man who marries for the sake of love, friendship, and raising a family isn't more or less the same as the transcendence required of a man whose venereal desire is 'oriented' mostly or entirely toward men but who restrains these drives, and who marries for the sake of love, friendship and raising a family? Of course, men with little venereal desire for women can't proceed towards marriage driven by such desire. For them, marriage must develop from friendship. But wouldn't it be better if all marriages developed from friendship? — Jonathan Mills
![Raising Women Quotes By Matt Damon Raising Women Quotes By Matt Damon](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-matt-damon-2113389.jpg)
If I had a bucket list, I'd say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be No. 1, — Matt Damon
![Raising Women Quotes By Jessica Valenti Raising Women Quotes By Jessica Valenti](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-jessica-valenti-2183173.jpg)
Women are raising children, picking up socks, and making sure you feel like a man by supporting you when you need it and looking sexy (but not trying too hard, because that would be pathetic). We're being independent and bad bitches while wearing fucking lipstick and heels so as not to offend your delicate aesthetic sensibility, yet even just the word "feminist" pisses you off. How dare we. — Jessica Valenti
![Raising Women Quotes By Catharine A. MacKinnon Raising Women Quotes By Catharine A. MacKinnon](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-catharine-a-mackinnon-2190711.jpg)
Women, it is said, possess corresponding power. Through consciousness-raising, women found that women's so-called power was the other side of female powerlessness. A women's supposed power to deny sex is the underside of her actual lack of power to stop it. Women's supposed power to get men to do things for them by nagging or manipulating is the other side of the power they lack to have their every need anticipated, to carry out the task themselves, or to invoke physical fear to gain compliance with their desires without even having to mention it. Once the veil is lifted, once relations between the sexes are seen as power relations, it becomes impossible to see as simply unintented, well-intentioned, or innocent the actions through which women are told every day what is expected and when they have crossed some line. — Catharine A. MacKinnon
![Raising Women Quotes By Elisa Albert Raising Women Quotes By Elisa Albert](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-elisa-albert-2260721.jpg)
One hundred years ago you'd have a child surrounded by other women: your mother, her mother, sisters, cousins, sisters-in-law, mother-in-law. And you'd be a teenager, too young to have had any kind of life yourself. You'd share childcare with a raft of women. They'd help you, keep you company, show you how. Then you'd do the same. Not just people to share in the work of raising children, but people to share in the loving of children. — Elisa Albert
![Raising Women Quotes By Maria Shriver Raising Women Quotes By Maria Shriver](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-maria-shriver-2271464.jpg)
Women somehow get portrayed as one type. You're either a feminist or you're not. You're a working woman or you're not. I'm raising two girls, and I say to them, 'I need you to be strong and soft. You can be smart and beautiful ... You can be all of these things.' — Maria Shriver

Annabel pointed out. "I don't think any of us doubted our marriageability." "My new governess, Miss Flecknoe, would say that was an utterly improper comment," Josie commented, raising her eyes from her book. "I can say that without hesitation because Miss Flecknoe finds any realistic assessment of relations between men and women improper. — Eloisa James
![Raising Women Quotes By Maria Shriver Raising Women Quotes By Maria Shriver](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-maria-shriver-635796.jpg)
If you want to be an architect of change by raising great kids, God bless. If you want to do it by raising money for your kid's school, great. If you want to build a garden - whatever it is. Women like myself - they're complicated, and they have a lot of different interests and qualities within them. — Maria Shriver

Sojourner Truth, who squelched the heckler with an oft-quoted speech. In the first place, she said, Jesus came from "God and a woman - man had nothing to do with it."66 Secondly, Truth asserted that women were not inherently weak and helpless. Raising herself to her full height of six feet, flexing a muscled arm, and bellowing with a voice one observer likened to the apocalyptic thunders, Truth informed the audience that she could outwork, outeat, and outlast any man. Then she challenged: "Ain't I a woman?"67 — Paula J. Giddings

I can think of only one good solution to this dilemma," Diego said, having spent the entire night developing a plan.
You sneak into the school and carry her off?" Gaspar quipped.
That is the not-so-good solution. And it would be very difficult to sneak into a house full of women without raising an alarm."
A cloud descended on Gaspar's brow. "I was not serious. Kidnapping is not a choice. — Sabrina Jeffries
![Raising Women Quotes By Mona Simpson Raising Women Quotes By Mona Simpson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-mona-simpson-574942.jpg)
We go to college, live together or marry, and have kids - often with little more thought to the daily routines of raising children than our grandparents gave them, when women by and large stayed at home. — Mona Simpson
![Raising Women Quotes By James Q. Wilson Raising Women Quotes By James Q. Wilson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-james-q-wilson-528123.jpg)
The selection process has been powerful enough to produce one indisputable outcome: the family is a universal human institution ... In virtually every society into which historians or anthropologists have inquired, one finds people living together on the basis of kinship ties and having responsibility for raising children ... Even in societies where men and women have relatively unrestricted sexual access to one another beginning at an early age, marriage is still the basis for family formation. It is desired by the partners and expected by society. — James Q. Wilson
![Raising Women Quotes By Hillary Clinton Raising Women Quotes By Hillary Clinton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-hillary-clinton-516080.jpg)
We don't have enough support for maternal leave and the kinds of things that some of the European countries do. So we still make it hard on women to go into the work force and feel that they can be good at work but then doing the most important job, which is raising your children in a responsible and positive way. — Hillary Clinton
![Raising Women Quotes By Crystal Evans Raising Women Quotes By Crystal Evans](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-crystal-evans-458179.jpg)
I keep saying that i wish our black women would not stop raising their sons to be like the niggas who left them. I see mothers covering for their deadbeat sons, putting some other child's mother through the same shit, her babyfather put her through.
We have spent the last few decades blaming absentee fathers for the lack of "graces" among our young men forgetting that they are raised by women. Women have always been other women's worst enemies. Maybe we need to start asking our mothers, what have they been doing wrong. Trying to smother the only man who won't leave them cause he can't, hes biologically linked to her. Trying to make up for the men who dumped her.
Raising monstrous, spoiled brats and then unleashing them on the female population. What we have today is a culture of men raised like daughters who do not know how to be a partner, a man and a father. — Crystal Evans
![Raising Women Quotes By Kristin Newman Raising Women Quotes By Kristin Newman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-kristin-newman-425385.jpg)
The experience also illuminated another fact: regardless of how you travel, as you get deeper into your thirties you might be the only person your age out on the road at all, whether it's in the hostels with the twentysomethings, or on the fancy cruises with the sixtysomethings. In your fourth decade, your compatriots are mostly at home, working, raising humans, getting husbands through rehab, living for someone besides themselves.
Suckers. — Kristin Newman

I think that poetry is perfect for women raising children, with just bits of time and such need to connect to other women out of the isolation of motherhood. — Francesca Lia Block
![Raising Women Quotes By Pepper Schwartz Raising Women Quotes By Pepper Schwartz](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-pepper-schwartz-409983.jpg)
Women may give lip service to wanting husbands who take on an equal role in raising children, but many will pull rank when an important decision, like how to discipline or what baby sitter to hire, has to be made. — Pepper Schwartz

The rules for raising children had gone out with her parents generation of daughters who had lived as Lucy had, in patient silence, acting by standards which had lasted generations, waiting to grow up to make their decisions, following the patterns of their own lives. — Susan Richards Shreve

Yes, an old-fashioned feminist "consciousness-raising" still has enormous value. When the subject turns to abortion, cosmetic intervention, birth, motherhood, sex, love, work, misogyny, fear, or just how you feel in your own skin, women still won't often tell the truth to each other unless they are very, very drunk. — Caitlin Moran

Women candidates have two unique problems. They have trouble raising money and being taken seriously by the media. — Maureen Reagan

The best I can say, it's like this. A man's in his skin, see, like a nut in its shell ... It's hard and strong, that shell, and it's all full of him. Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that's all. That's all there is.
A woman's a different thing entirely. Who knows where a woman begins and ends? Listen mistress, I have roots, I have roots deeper than this island. Deeper than the sea, older than the raising of the lands. I go back into the dark ... I go back into the dark! Before the moon I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman's power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon. Who dares ask questions of the dark? Who'll ask the dark its name? — Ursula K. Le Guin

You can't raise the standard of women's morals by raising their pay envelope. It lies deeper than that. — Billy Sunday

I would be ashamed to admit to the Indians that, where I come from, the women do not feel themselves capable of raising children until they read the instructions written in a book by a strange man. — Jean Liedloff

I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it's too late by college. — Danica McKellar

From a biological viewpoint, patriarchal religion denied women the natural rights of every other mammalian female: the right to choose her stud, to control the circumstances of her mating, to occupy and govern her own nest, or to refuse all males when preoccupied with the important business of raising her young. — Barbara G. Walker

I'm not saying that if you're working at home, raising a family, that's not work. I want to disrupt the narrative around what it means to be a woman who works. The whole point of my brand is that women should be architecting the lives they want to live. — Ivanka Trump

We're raising women to be sexually dysfunctional, with all the 'no' messages we're giving them about diseases and shame and fear. And then as soon as they're eighteen they're supposed to be sexual rock stars, multiorgasmic and totally uninhibited. It doesn't make any sense. None of the things we do in our society prepares women for that. — Emily Nagoski

I believe that raising the status of women in Turkey is a responsibility shared by everyone. It is not only in Turkey; we are still in need of serious support for the role of women in business and society all around the world. — Guler Sabanci

What Women's Lib might achieve if their 'consciousness raising' - or in plain English, brainwashing - campaign succeeds is a society whose members have identical roles but are perpetually at war with themselves; a society of males made neurotic by suppressed masculinity, of females made miserable by having masculine roles thrust upon them that contradict their feminine impulses. — Arianna Huffington

This is the picture of a woman cast in the role of a learner, a pupil, even a rabbinic student. Quite obviously this is a prohibited role for women in those days and in that culture. Yet Jesus affirms Mary in that role. Martha, however, rebukes her. Martha demands that Jesus order Mary to abandon the pupil role for the more acceptable domestic role of assisting with the dinner preparations. Jesus supports Mary and defends her consciousness-raising act by stating that she has elected a higher choice. — John Shelby Spong

Without my women friends, I wouldn't know anything. They've been my teachers and my mothers. My mother was a wonderful person, but she didn't give me a lot of the stuff I needed to advance myself as an adult woman. I have a really strong group of girlfriends, and we share a lot with one another - the complications of raising children, marriages, personal and physical struggles. — Jamie Lee Curtis

The use of slave women as day workers naturally broke up or made impossible the normal Negro home, and this and the slave code led to a development of which the South was really ashamed and which it often denied, and yet perfectly evident: the raising of slaves in the Border slave states for systematic sale on the commercialized cotton plantations. — W.E.B. Du Bois

Make dads the godly leaders [of the family] with the women in submission, raising kids for the glory of God. — Randall Terry

Women like Bethenny - my friend from the town of vanishing men - have a kind of ambiguous independence right now. They are much less likely to be in abusive relationships, much more likely to make all the decisions about their lives, but they are also much more likely to be raising children alone. It's a heavy load. — Hanna Rosin
![Raising Women Quotes By Louisa May Alcott Raising Women Quotes By Louisa May Alcott](https://quotessayings.net/pics/raising-women-quote-by-louisa-may-alcott-995594.jpg)
Women work a good many miracles and I have a persuasion that they may preform even that of raising the standard of manhood by refusing to echo such sayings. Let the boys be boys the longer the better and let the young men sew their wild oats if they must, but mothers, sisters and friends may help to make the crop a small one and keep many tares from spoiling the harvest by believing and showing that they believe in the possibility of loyalty to the virtues which make men manliest in good women's eyes. — Louisa May Alcott

There are many controversial issues in contemporary American politics where, in spite of my strong feelings, I have the ability to understand and respect the other side. But the notion that we could ever pretend women have real equality in this country when a man as uninformed about basic reproductive gynecology as Mr. Todd Akin could take away my right to decide whether I want to spend a minimum of eighteen years and an average of $235,000 raising a child - not to mention the significant cost to my own dreams and goals or the myriad ways my child might ultimately suffer for my having been denied the ability to make that choice, the ways so many children suffer every day at the hands of their frustrated, stultified mothers - is an absurdity. — Meghan Daum

Those of us directed towards the right were lined up in threes with much shooting and beating. I was in the first row, at the platform's edge. Suddenly, we see a group of older women and women with children nearing the road, under the platform. In the first row I see my mother supported on both sides by two friends. She too becomes aware of me. And out of the throat of this reticent, soft-spoken woman who I don't remember ever raising her voice, breaks out a terrible, desperate, piercingly loud, howling shout: 'GYURIKA!!! — Azriel Feuerstein

When women devote themselves to their husbands, children, and building their house, the whole church is strengthened. This is actually their 'ministry' to the church: being obedient wives who are raising godly children. Obviously, when a church is full of healthy families, the church will be healthy and stable. — Nancy Wilson

Men marry women who see through their bullshit, and women marry men they can't seduce, at least according to Lou. It's the only way you can live with each other over long periods of time and get things done, raising kids and buying houses and all the other nonsense of matrimony and human striving.
To Judith, this was a depressing thought. She wanted to marry a man who was so crazy for her he couldn't see straight. — Karin Goodwin

Doctors would only prescribe birth control in the most dire of circumstances, and even then, what form of birth control would they prescribe? There were no reliable options, except perhaps the condom. But condoms depended on the cooperation of men, and Sanger's experience in the tenements of New York City told her that men didn't mind six or seven children so long as they were able to enjoy sex when the mood struck them. Women were the ones dealing most with the consequences of sex, not only because they were the ones getting pregnant but also because they were the ones raising the children. — Jonathan Eig

I truly am %100 convinced that, if you want to raise knights and noble women, you must teach your children the philosophies of old. I have been teaching my son ancient philosophies since he was nine years old. It becomes a thought pattern, a way of life, an ingrained character. The philosophy of old is the stuff of knights and queens! If I can one day, I will put up a school dedicated to raising young children in the ways of old, from a fresh young age! — C. JoyBell C.
