Backlash Quotes - Page 4

• If you listen to the Catholic bishops you would think that Catholics are against contraception and legal abortion, but if you ask actual Catholics, you discover that more than 90% of Catholic women use contraception and Catholic women seem to need and choose legal abortion at about the same rate as everybody else. The problem is that the backlash occupies positions of power, not that it represents the majority of people.

• I kind of like social media, and I like hearing from people. I don't like the ugly stuff, but there are some people - smart people - who have a very different perspective, and I'll get a backlash from them. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

• Feminists are forever discovering subtle new forms of sexism and then beating men around the head and shoulders with it. It is left to the rest of us to suffer the inevitable backlash this provokes among men. Besides, the feminists have the Federal Government behind them.

• I understood that there would be some backlash, and that scared me, honestly. But deep down, I felt like it was the right thing to do. And if I was to run away from what I felt in my soul was the right thing to do, that would make me a coward. I can’t live with that. God wouldn’t be able to put me where I am today, and as far as I’ve come in life, if I was a coward.

• [The right] may never bring prayer back to schools, but it has rescued all manner of rightwing economic nostrums from history's dustbins. Having rolled back the landmark economic reforms of the sixties (the war on poverty) and those of the thirties (labor law, agricultural price supports, banking regulation), its leaders now turn their guns on the accomplishments of the earliest years of progressivism (Woodrow Wilson's estate tax; Theodore Roosevelt's anti-trust measures). With a little more effort, the backlash may well repeal the entire twentieth century.

• Modern society is perverse, not in spite of its puritanism or as if from a backlash provoked by its hypocrisy; it is in actual fact, and directly, perverse.

• Creo que la erótica del lugar puede ser una de las razones por las que los ecologistas son vistos como subversivos. Ahora hay una reacción en contra:... [elipsis en la fuente] quitar todas las normativas; debilitar la legislación existente; la ley de especies en peligro es demasiado severa, demasiado restrictiva; que haya carta blanca para los promotores inmobiliarios. Porque si realmente tenemos que enfrentarnos a la naturaleza salvaje, a la soledad y a la serenidad, tanto a la ferocidad como a la naturaleza compasiva de la tierra, en última instancia tenemos que enfrentarnos a ello en nosotros mismos, y es más fácil ser insensible, distraerse, desentenderse.

• SOY SIMPÁTICO, porque no estaba allí así que no sé exactamente lo que pasó. Tal vez Darren Wilson actuó dentro de sus derechos y su deber como agente de la ley y mató a Michael Brown en defensa propia como cualquiera de nosotros lo haría en esas circunstancias. Ahora tiene que temer las represalias contra sí mismo y sus seres queridos cuando sólo estaba haciendo su trabajo. Qué cosa tan horrible de soportar. O tal vez provocó a Michael y desencadenó la serie de acontecimientos que le llevaron finalmente a asesinar al joven para demostrar su punto de vista.

• If an adversary didn't target our power plants but they did target the core routers, the backbones that tie our internet connections together, entire parts of the United States could be cut off. That would have a tremendous impact on us as a society and it would have a policy backlash.

• The backlash against women's rights would be just one of several powerful forces creating a harsh and painful climate for women at work. Reagonomics, the recession, and the expansion of a minimum-wage service economy also helped, in no small measure, to slow and even undermine women's momentum in the job market. But the backlash did more than impede women's opportunities for employment, promotions, and better pay. Its spokesmen kept the news of many of these setbacks from women. Not only did the backlash do grievous damage to working women C it did on the sly.

• Both men and women react negatively when women negotiate on their own behalf. A man can just negotiate: "I have a better offer. That's not enough to make my family's ends meet." No one feels bad about it. But when a woman does that, there's a backlash.

• The fact that women have been moving forward, that a woman was running for president, that we had a black president - I think there was, without a doubt, a whitelash and a complete backlash against the liberation of women, against the power of people of color.

• Vivo en las colinas y no tengo cable, y tengo un satélite muy lento, así que eso es todo, porque estar en Internet está bien, pero lleva mucho tiempo. Tengo la predicción de que en algún momento, habrá una reacción violenta. Al igual que a finales de los 60, hubo un movimiento de vuelta a la tierra, y supongo que la gente empezará a decir conscientemente: "No voy a llevarme el teléfono conmigo", o "Sólo voy a consultar el correo electrónico x veces al día", o "Nunca voy a buscar en Google", por ejemplo.

• It's important to teach students about the reality of the system, that it is in fact the case that they are being targeted unfairly, that the rules have been set up in a way that authorize unfair treatment of them, and how difficult it is to challenge these laws in the courts. We need to teach them how our politics have changed in recent years, how there has been, in fact, a backlash. But we need to couple that information with stories of how people in the past have challenged these kinds of injustices, and the role that youth have played historically in those struggles.

• As black people, we want our story to be this constant ascendance from slavery. But it's not like that. You push and it goes up. Then there's a backlash, and if folks stop pushing, it goes down. Let's face it, it's a lot more complicated.

• Our countries are weaker: they cannot protect us from imported goods, they can't protect us from climate change, they cannot protect us from epidemics. These things cross borders. But the kind of cooperation that would protect us from those things was completely lacking and because of this there's been a backlash. People feel vulnerable.

• To hear an artist be transparent is one of the greatest things they could ever do for their fans. I love that, when I see my fans on the road we have real conversations and it's not even that I do it as some big ploy to have album sales. I do it because it's important for them to understand who I am. So, whatever backlash comes along with me being transparent, there's nothing I can do about it.
