In brief, we do more research on men in prison, men in the military, and men in general than we do on women for the same reason we do more research on rats than we do on humans.

I'm an awfully loyal friend. Once I've started a relationship with someone, it's like they are syrup and I'm a pancake. Their syrup gets into my pancake, so to speak.

My wife's income allowed me to do what I really loved. I realized that women's liberation is men's liberation, too.

Men are likely to be quite generous, especially financially.

Let's face it: men do a lot of things in the workplace that women just don't do.

Minimizing the role of sexual attraction in rape denies our responsibility for reinforcing men's addiction to female sexual beauty and then depriving men of what we've helped addict them to.

Neither men nor women are exempt from killing loved ones. The difference is in what happens to them when they do.

Women’s genetic celebrity power magnifies men’s protector instinct. It inspires the government-as-substitute-husband. Men’s addiction to the genetic celebrity is either invisible or in the denial stage-thus we either don’t see it, or when confronted, deny it.

All societies that have survived have survived based on their ability to prepare their sons to be disposable, in war and at work-and therefore as dads.

Most mothers want more of dad in their children’s lives, not less.
