Quote by Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not.

The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights

Summary

This quote suggests that a woman who truly possesses intelligence does not feel the need to demand equal rights with men, as she is secure in her own capabilities. It implies that a confident and intelligent woman does not see herself as inferior to men, and therefore does not need to fight for equal rights. This viewpoint, however, is controversial and doesn't acknowledge the valid struggle for gender equality and the necessity of advocating for the rights of all individuals regardless of gender.
