Joanie: Girls, I'd like to talk to you about growing up to be mommies. Growing up to be a mommy is one of the most wonderful things a little girl can want to do, but... there are other things in life she can do as well... For instance, she can work her head off and show all those arrogant boys that she's just as capable and intelligent and creative as any little stud around! Girl: You're a "libbie," aren't you, Ms. Caucus. Joanie: You bet, honey.
“I mean yes, us “WASP men” have an attitude, but we earned it- 99 percent of the time it was not “given” to us.”

It never ceases to amaze me how people credit to their own doing that which society/their station in life (what an ugly term!) has given them.
