More quotes by Madeleine M. Kunin
Legislative proposals that would enable an employer to determine whether or not a woman's insurance would cover the cost of birth control strikes women as particularly bizarre. Is the boss going to take care of the children that are conceived accidentally? Stop treating us like children. Women are grown ups.
Madeleine M. Kunin
A desire to succeed in politics is propelled by these two seemingly contradictory forces, which frequently change places and sometimes coexist: to save others and to save oneself.
Madeleine M. Kunin
The political environment we create matters because a disturbed person cannot always tell the difference between explosive rhetoric and explosive actions.
Madeleine M. Kunin
There are no more excuses for leaving women out of the inner circles of power. Qualified women are everywhere. Women are ready for leadership they just need to be identified and asked.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Those who speak up, those who use their connections, are more likely to succeed than those who sit and wait.
Madeleine M. Kunin
If we are serious about providing upward mobility and building a skilled workforce, pre-school is the place to begin.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Working moms, and increasingly working dads, don't want a government handout, but they do need a hand up.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Every time a woman leaves the workforce because she can't find or afford childcare, or she can't work out a flexible arrangement with her boss, or she has no paid maternity leave, her family's income falls down a notch. Simultaneously, national productivity numbers decline.
Madeleine M. Kunin
It is the future, of course, which politicians grapple with, and that is why politics is so disorderly. Only history clears away some of the debris.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Inaction, contrary to its reputation for being a refuge, is neither safe nor comfortable.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Video games seem to be mostly a boy thing - viewed by young boys and created by big boys. I believe that if more videos games were created by women, the violence in these games - especially against women - would be rapidly toned down.
Madeleine M. Kunin
If being a woman is a factor politically, it's usually not because of a conscious bias, but because women are a novelty.
Madeleine M. Kunin
'Power' is an explosive word, particularly when applied to women.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Babies are smart. They can tell the difference between a responsive face and a blank face, wiped clean of emotion.
Madeleine M. Kunin
There are not many female role models to guide voters, and the tradition that a Southern woman's place is in the home still lingers in some quarters.
Madeleine M. Kunin
When there is violence against any person in society, because he or she is different, it threatens us all. Only by speaking out are any of us safe.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Why are video games so violent? The ones I've seen remind me of the 4th of July, with everything exploding, buildings, cars, airplanes, men and women. Kill, kill, and kill for sport and entertainment.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Our right to disagree is precious but fragile. The best way to protect and preserve it is to let the other side speak without demonizing them or destroying their right to be heard. Such civil exchanges are the heart beat of democracy - essential to keeping it alive.
Madeleine M. Kunin
To equate a corporation with a person is a travesty of justice.
Madeleine M. Kunin
When we mention the 1 percent and the 99 percent, everybody now knows what we are talking about. It's part of our vocabulary. How quickly these numbers jumped from the sidelines to the center.
