"As long as woman regards the Bible as the charter of her rights, she will be the slave of man. The Bible was not written by a woman. Within its lids there is nothing but humiliation and shame for her. She is regarded as the property of man. She is made to ask forgiveness for becoming a mother. She is as much below her husband, as her husband is below Christ. She is not allowed to speak. The gospel is too pure to be spoken by her polluted lips. Woman should learn in silence. [...] In my judgment, the woman is the equal of the man. She has all the rights I have and one more, and that is the right to be protected. [...] If there is any man I detest, it is the man who thinks he is the head of a family -- the man who thinks he is "boss!" - Robert G. Ingersoll, THE LIBERTY OF MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD (1877)
