He was born with a silver foot in his mouth." The source for the Whittlesey version is "feminism is a straightjacket for women" from: "Susan Faludi (2006) Backlash: The Undeclared War Against Women. New York: Crown. p. xii ISBN 0517576988" · This quote is tagged Dance and Dancing · Search on Google Books to find all references and sources for this quotation.
