Quotes from Naomi Weisstein

In some extremely important ways, people are what you expect them to be, or at least they behave as you expect them to behave.
~ Naomi Weisstein
Psychologists have set about describing the true nature of women with a certainty and a sense of their own infallibility rarely found in the secular world.
~ Naomi Weisstein
Why have they been telling us women lately that we have no sense of humor -- when we are always laughing? . . . and when we're not laughing, we're smiling.
~ Naomi Weisstein
Except for their genitals, I don't know what immutable differences exist between men and women. Perhaps there are some other unchangeable differences; probably there are a number of irrelevant differences. But it is clear that until social expectations for men and women are equal, until we provide equal respect for both sexes, answers to this question will simply reflect our prejudices.
~ Naomi Weisstein
