Lord of the Flies author William Golding once said that "I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men".
Sir William Gerald Golding (1911–1993) was a Nobel Prize-winning writer best known for his 1954 novel Lord of the Flies, about a group of British schoolboys who become marooned on an isolated island after a plane crash and attempt to govern themselves, with disastrous results.
Golding’s name is now often encountered by many people via social-media circulated image macros, which reproduce in many different forms a quote that is widely attributed to him: “I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been.”
There is no doubt that Golding spoke these words, perhaps more than once.
