Quote by Erma Bombeck
We've got a generation now who were born with semi equality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.
Summary
This quote highlights the frustration of an older generation towards young women who seem unaware of the struggles faced in achieving gender equality. It suggests that because younger women were born into a world with more opportunities and progress, they may not fully appreciate the ongoing fight for women's rights. The quote expresses disappointment towards the perceived complacency of younger women and warns that unless they recognize the importance of continued activism, the progress made in achieving equality could deteriorate. It implies that a deterioration of rights may be necessary for the younger generation to realize the significance of the struggle and actively engage in the battle for gender equality.
