Quote by Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

A woman who thinks she is intelligent demands the same rights as man. An intelligent woman gives up.

A woman who thinks she is intelligent demands the same right

Summary

This quote suggests that a woman who believes she is intelligent may fight for equal rights and demand the same treatment as men. In contrast, an intelligent woman understands the societal barriers and may choose to give up the continuous struggle for equality. It implies that the acknowledgment and acceptance of the existing inequities may lead an intelligent woman to prioritize personal growth and success in different areas rather than occupying herself with a seemingly unattainable goal.

Neither the doctrine of separation of powers, nor the need for confidentiality of high level communications, without more, can sustain an absolute, unqualified presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances. The President's need for complete candor and objectivity from advisers calls for great deference from the courts. However, when the privilege depends solely on the broad, undifferentiated claim of public interest in the confidentiality of such conversations, a confrontation with other values arises. Absent a claim of need to protect military, diplomatic or sensitive national security secrets, we find it difficult to accept the argument that even the very important interest in confidentiality of Presidential communications is significantly diminished by production of such material for in camera inspection with all the protection that a district court will be obliged to provide.
