The notion that because you are a woman, you must be more sensitive or delicate is a stereotype I have fought against my whole life.

More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"If there was one decision I would overrule, it would be Citizens United. I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be."
"The more women are involved in the decision-making process, the less likely it is that we're going to have wars."
"Our system of justice is superb, but there are some areas that need fine-tuning."
"Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time."
"You can't have it all, all at once."
About Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)
Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court (1993-2020), gender-equality litigator at the ACLU Women's Rights Project before the bench, and the second woman ever appointed. Closely associated with Sandra Day O'Connor (first woman Justice and her predecessor in that role) and Elena Kagan (Obama-appointed colleague). For an intellectual contrast, see Antonin Scalia, conservative originalist Justice (1936-2016) — RBG and Scalia disagreed on nearly every major constitutional case but maintained a famous personal friendship over opera. Their friendship-across-doctrinal-divide became the canonical example of judicial collegiality despite total disagreement — and Scalia's originalism vs RBG's living-Constitution liberalism are the cleanest two American constitutional methodologies.
