“When Rudy Giuliani became mayor of New York in 1993, his belief in the 'Broken Windows' theory led him to implement the 'Zero Tolerance' crime policy. Crime dropped dramatically, significantly, and continued to for the next ten years.
Personally, I feel the time has come for women to introduce their own Zero Tolerance policy on the Broken Windows issues in our lives - I want a Zero Tolerance policy on 'All The Patriarchal Bullshit'. - Caitlin Moran , How to be a women.
'When Simone de Beauvoir said, “One is not born a woman—one becomes one,” she didn’t know the half of it.'- Caitlin Moran.
Simone de Beauvoir- political activist, social theorist and feminist. Wrote the book the 'Second Sex' deals and investigates the treatment of women through out the ages. And is often accounted for , for triggering the 'second wave of feminism.' or this is opposed by Moran when she states that there are all these different waves but looking back it seems more like and 'incoming tided' - Caitlin Moran, How to be a women. But Beauvoir's makes an interesting and contemporary statement in her quote above, she separates 'gender' from 'sex'.
