Christina Hoff Sommers Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Christina Hoff Sommers:

I think the rules will change and I think more and more young women are going to decide that having a family and taking care of a home is not a bad choice, but how do we subsidize it - not necessarily European-style socialism. It'll have to be a new more creative, dynamic and local solution.

It's good to raise awareness that men and boys are struggling, at least many of them are. But why say men are finished? It's too harsh, too sweeping, and it happens to not be true.

I think the rules will change and I think more and more young women are going to decide that having a family and taking care of a home is not a bad choice, but how do we subsidize it - not necessarily European-style socialism. It'll have to be a new more creative, dynamic and local solution.

We must have moral education in the schools, anti-bullying programs, but this does not mean programs to feminize boys.

Christina Hoff Sommers

I'm concerned that boys have become politically incorrect, that we are a society in the process of turning against its male children.

Christina Hoff Sommers

We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.

In reality, American girls are among the most outspoken, ambitious, successful girls in the history of the human race.

Girls are more academically powerful. They make the grades, they run the student activities, they are the valedictorians.

Christina Hoff Sommers

I don't think anyone will deny that girls are academically superior as a group.

Christina Hoff Sommers

I think it's ill-advised to attribute pathologies to healthy people. It doesn't help normal, healthy, thriving children to be viewed as pitiable and fragile.

Christina Hoff Sommers

I think the fallacy is to think that Women's Liberation meant that men and women would become interchangeable. That has not happened, and most men and women would not want it to happen.

Christina Hoff Sommers

Any child may go through periods during which they become less outspoken with their parents or teachers. But girls, like boys, live in many different worlds - they have their friends and their classroom and their parents - and within these different domains, they may have different levels of expressiveness.

Christina Hoff Sommers

Boy's natural play is rough and tumble play, it's the universal play of little boys. And it's very different from aggression. And we are a society that's failing to understand the distinction.
