A Quote by Gloria Steinem

The nineteenth-century wave of feminism was started by older women who had been through the radicalizing experience of getting married and becoming the legal chattel of their husbands (or the equally radicalizing experience of not getting married and being treated as spinsters).
As a single couple, we are no longer able to hang around with married couples 'cause they cannot be in our presence without getting very annoying. It's always like, 'So, when are you guys getting married? Huh? When are you getting married? When are you guys getting married?!' I dunno, you're married - when are you gonna die? You're already married, death will be next. When are you gonna die?

I think for a woman, getting older can help, through personal experience, although of course older women are then rendered invisible in our society, another existential crisis.
Getting married is an adventure. Because when you're getting married, you're doing something you don't know anything about. Did you ever think of that?
Getting married and divorced really is a learning experience.
I realise that women don't want to get treated differently but just equally. I don't know what feminism is all about, but I understand that women should be treated equally, and I endorse that thought.
Most of my close friends, growing up, were women - and even after I got married, I still maintained a lot of those friendships. But as they get married, and as I get older, I'm making a lot of the transition to the husbands.
