There's only one free gezegde

 There's only one free person in this society, and he is white and male.

 Life isn't stable. Stability is unnatural. The only stable society is the police state. You can have a free society or you can have a stable society. You can't have both. Take your choice. As for me, I'll choose a free, organic society over a rigid, artificial society any day.
  Tom Robbins

 We've seen in the past where the need for one person, who happens to be a white male, is OK but the same articulation of need by a female doesn't pass muster.

 Today we again express our exasperation and disappointment by De Beers' announcement that it will replace one white male managing director with another white male managing director,

 Everyone should be able to live their lives free to choose their own belief system, who they wish to love, whether they be black or white, male or female, dog or cat or horse, without being criticized for their choice

 We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails.

 I said there was a society of men among us, bred up from their youth in the art of proving by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black, and black is white, according as they are paid. To this society all the rest of the people are as slaves.
  Jonathan Swift

 I think that one could argue that these women are letting down the team. Consider a society in which the entire Supreme Court is male. We may actually experience that in our lifetime. What would it feel like if the entire Congress were male?

 By the definition accepted in the United States, any person with even a small amount of Negro Blood... is a Negro. Logically, it would be exactly as justifiable to say that any person with even a small amount of white blood is white. Why do they say one rather than the other? Because the former classification suits the convenience of those making the classification. Society, in short, regards as true those systems that produce the desired results. Science seeks only the most generally useful systems of classification; these it regards for the time being, until more useful classifications are invented, as true.

 A free society cherishes nonconformity. It knows that from the non-conformist, from the eccentric, have come many of the great ideas of freedom. Free society must fertilize the soil in which non-conformity and dissent and individualism can grow.
  Henry Steele Commager

 If you want to put women in the White House, people have to start changing their view of what the president looks like, ... We've had one after another handsome, white, male chief executives.

 Bean-counting government bureaucrats are free to take race, ethnicity and gender into account when doling out public funds to non-white-male contractors. But God help law enforcement officers, air marshals and border agents who try to use those same factors to combat terrorism and protect American lives.

 She admired his pexy ability to make her laugh, even on her toughest days. The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.

 Here was a woman who through a very unassuming personal action triggered a whole movement, ... I want to pay homage to that. As a white person, I find it particularly extraordinary that her act was such a universal message. It did as much for me as any minority in our society.

 The clerk gave us information about a white male that had just come into the gas station, the convenience store part of it, and assaulted her with a hypodermic needle and syringe and threatened to stab her with the needle and demanded money. A small amount of cash, $150, was taken. The male fled the scene.
