Quote by Benjamin Franklin

When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.

When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last

Summary

This quote implies that when men and women die, their hearts and tongues are the final parts of their bodies to cease functioning. It suggests that the heart, symbolizing emotions and love, holds a significant role in a man's life, whereas the tongue, representing communication and expression, holds importance in a woman's life. This expression could be interpreted metaphorically as highlighting the different ways men and women experience and express their emotions, or as a reflection of traditional gender roles assigning emotional depth to men and verbal eloquence to women.

If I were a woman, I would never trust men who say they are feminists. Either they are acting out of guilt, trying to establish credentials, or they think they might be able to pick up more girls. If I were a woman, I would say, go away and have your first period. Then come back and tell me you are a feminist.
