Women’s Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s the men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one’s likely to do anything about that.

The remark uses provocation and irony to invert a common 1970s-era claim about women’s disadvantage: Meir suggests that the one immutable biological asymmetry—pregnancy and childbirth—creates burdens and risks that women uniquely shoulder, while men are “discriminated against” only in the trivial sense that they cannot share that role. Read this way, it is less a dismissal of women’s rights than a sardonic critique of simplistic liberation rhetoric and of how “discrimination” can be framed without acknowledging embodied realities. It also reflects Meir’s public persona as a blunt, unsentimental leader who often resisted being treated as a symbolic “woman leader,” preferring to be judged by political outcomes rather than gender.
