“Nobody else can demean me. I can only demean myself”
“It does not demean men to want to be what they imagine the wolf to be, but it does demean them to kill the animal for it.”
“In the end, those who demean others only disrespect themselves.”
“I never defended myself. Not once. I never said, "Excuse me? What gives you the right to insult and demean me?" I let them steal my dignity.”
“Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.”
“Stop calling me 'babe'. It's demeaning. I'm not a babe, I'm a woman”
