More and more men are raising children or want to be close to their kids. They don't want to just lead work-obsessed lives and end up 50 years later with an engraved watch.

More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Human beings are communal beings and we can't exist or prosper by ourselves. We need each other's support.
Gloria Steinem
There is a naive belief that injustice only had to be pointed out in order to be cured.
Gloria Steinem
Self-esteem isn't everything it's just that there's nothing without it.
Gloria Steinem
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
Gloria Steinem
For me, writing is the only thing that passes the three tests of metier: (1) when I'm doing it, I don't feel that I should be doing something else instead: (2) it produces a sense of accomplishment and, nce in a while, pride and (3) it's frightening.
Gloria Steinem
Nature doesn't move in a straight line, and as part of nature, neither do we.
Gloria Steinem
I think we're all enmeshed in this political system that is devoted to controlling reproduction. You didn't invent it I didn't invent it. Thirty percent of us are trying to preserve it, and 70 percent are trying to change it. We're not active enough or voting enough or mad enough.
Gloria Steinem
In the late '60s, people were saying we need power to, not power over. Power to do, accomplish, create, not power over other people.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever the gender of the participants, all pornography including male-male gay pornography is an imitation of the male-female, conqueror-victim paradigm, and almost all of it actually portrays or implies enslaved women and master.
Gloria Steinem
We all know as we travel around this country or around the world that there are huge problems, and also people doing amazing things on the ground - but those people rarely get reported. Our media are so into conflict that they sometimes say to me, Bring an 'anti' with you.
Gloria Steinem
An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.
Gloria Steinem
The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
Gloria Steinem
I never quite trust futurists because I think they're kind of telling us what they think our future should be.
Gloria Steinem
We have to imagine change before we can begin to move toward it.
Gloria Steinem
The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no he and she. A human being is a human being.
Gloria Steinem
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem
When I was little, I knew that I was not adopted, but I actually imagined and hoped that I was, and that my real parents were going to come get me. I was just too different from the rest of the family, so I lived in books and in my imagination.
Gloria Steinem
To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We're responsible for changing it, yes. But we can't actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are.
Gloria Steinem
The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example.
Gloria Steinem
Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before.
