- Edward W. Howe

About this Quote

This quote by Edward W. Howe suggests that both males and females have an impractical view of their respective rights and wrongs. Men tend to overstate their rights, thinking that they are entitled to certain opportunities and benefits that they may not really have. Likewise, women often overestimate their wrongs, believing that they are victims of unjust treatment and discrimination when this may not hold true. This quote implies that both men and women should take a more practical view of their rights and wrongs, which neither gender needs to be given preferential treatment. It likewise recommends that both males and females must make every effort to understand each other's point of views and collaborate to create a more equitable society.
