quote="Men insist that they don’t mind women succeeding so long as they retain their “femininity”. Yet the qualities that men consider “feminine” timidity, submissiveness, obedience, silliness, and self-debasement—are the very qualities best guaranteed to assure the defeat of even the most gifted aspirant."|source=Line in The First Sex [cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Elizabeth Gould Davis Quotes | date= | publisher= | url =http://www.quoteland.com/author.asp?AUTHOR_ID=2176 | work =Quoteland | pages = | accessdate = 2008-09-21 | language = ] |align=right|width=50%
