Usually people don’t have an answer  (Ridicule Quotes) ... so long as woman labors to second man’s endeavors and exalt his sex above her own, her virtues pass unquestioned; but when shedares to demand rights and privileges for herself, her motives, manners, dress, personal appearance, and character are subjects for ridicule and detraction  (Ridicule Quotes) I’ve often been asked what drives me, particularly through the last 50 years of abuse, and ridicule.
