Quote by Gloria Steinem
If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?
Summary
This quote highlights the flawed assumption that women are inherently more emotional and less rational than men. The author questions why women's behavior during a specific phase of their menstrual cycle is often attributed to being more similar to men's typical behavior throughout the entire month. The quote exposes the illogicality and gender stereotypes underlying this assumption, challenging the notion of fixed gender differences in emotional and rational capabilities.
