About this Quote

This quote by Barbra Streisand speaks with the double standard that exists in between men and women in the work environment. Men are often applauded for their enthusiasm and dedication to their work, while females are typically judged for having the very same feelings for their work. This quote suggests that women are just enabled to have passion and commitment for a male, not their work. This double requirement is unreasonable and perpetuates the concept that women are not as capable as men in the work environment. It also indicates that females should prioritize their relationships over their work, which is not real. Females must be permitted to have passion and commitment for their work, just as guys are. This quote functions as a reminder that women should be provided the same respect and opportunities as males in the work environment.
