en kvinne uten mann er som en fisk uten sykkel

Etymology
From, a well-known feminist slogan coined in 1970 by the Australian filmmaker, social activist, and writer (born 1948); according to her recollection, adapted from the phrase “A man needs God like a fish needs a bicycle” which she read in a philosophical text. The original phrase appears to be “A man without faith is like a fish without a bicycle”, coined by Charles S. Harris in 1955 and published in a 1958 article in the Swarthmore Phoenix. The phrase is often erroneously attributed to the American feminist journalist and social political activist (born 1934), but she disclaimed this in a letter to Time magazine published on 16 September 2000.
