Quotation of the Day for November 21, 2013



"The sexual morality of our society tells a story which goes something like this: "Most men would like to make love to most women, most of the time." The one thing that prevents all of this indiscriminate coupling from taking place is the female power to resist. Women are therefore more discriminating, more self-controlled and in general the keepers of the keys to the sexual experience. If it is such a bother to be so attractive to men, I don't quite understand the need for all the dieting, the make-up, the various sprays, the perfumes, the clothing, etc. The name of the game seems to be, "He shall want me, but he shall not have me." If he doesn't want, perhaps a different hair-do, a new dress, a more exotic perfume will do the trick. This can be a very demanding, tiring, expensive and frustrating process. I'm sure it is degrading."

- Leonard Nimoy, "I Am Not Spock" (1975).
