How can I call security a woman's primary fantasy if I am saying it is also her primary need?

The United States follows the pattern of men taking the financial risks even within a given field. Women physicians are three times as likely as men to work for the government or an HMO; men physicians are much more likely to be self-employed in a solo practice.

The solution to all this is not criminalization but resocialization.

Those feminists who say that masculinity is about men believing they can batter women display the deepest ignorance possible about men and masculinity.

On a deeper level, if our sons are learning they are obscene, disgusting, and untrustworthy, is this the best preparation for fatherhood? And is it the best preparation for becoming a mother - to feel this way about her son?

After divorce, women’s biggest fear is economic deprivation; men’s biggest fear is emotional deprivation.

Fear of emotional contact with men out of fear of being a sexual suspect makes boys, ironically, even more powerless before girls. Homophobia is like telling the United States it will be a sissy nation if it doesn’t get all its oil from OPEC.

Our love for children is so immediate in part because we feel their powerlessness immediately; conversely, part of the way we deny our love for men is by denying men’s powerlessness.
