Sexual Equality

Context

Thierry Le Luron (1952-1986) was a French comedian, impersonator, actor and singer who was particularly famous in the 1970s and 1980s for his imitations of political and media figures.

This quote is generally attributed to him because he is the one who made it known, but it was actually initially a slip of the tongue by the Socialist Minister for Women's Rights, Yvette Roudy, in 1983. The Minister spoke of "measures" in the sense of political decisions, of course, but the word was not very well chosen due to the possible double meaning, especially related to the word Sex.
