The article was essentially about the coming disappearance of women. I pointed out that the only differences between men and women are the women are smaller and weaker than men, and women have to bear the children, and that all other differences are really social. They are born of the environment. They're not real. [...] You say, "Women are so pure and sweet and nice, if only they have the vote, they would clean up politics." So you give them the vote, and politics is just as dirty as ever. [...] If we get into the 21st century when all the work that's required to be done (and there won't be much of it) doesn't require muscles anyway (it's all a matter of closing contacts, pushing papers, whatever the heck you do), women can do it as well as men. And when it comes to children, there's going to have to be a low birth rate (we'll have to or everything goes 'blooey!'). And in addition, children will be considered, I think, the responsibility of society and not the responsibility of their mothers. Children will be far too valuable to trust to their mothers (most of them are complete incompetents as mothers).

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

público. No trató de razonar con ellos. Puede ser que cuanto mayor sea el grupo de gente, más fácilmente se les convence por la emoción que por la razón. Como las emociones son pocas y las razones muchas, el comportamiento de una masa de gente es más fácil de predecir que el comportamiento de una sola persona.

We're forever teetering on the brink of the unknowable, and trying to understand what can't be understood. It's what makes us men.
