Diamonds might be blinding in their beauty, but they were also the hardest and sharpest gems in the world. They could cut you or grind you down, smash and slice you apart. Malcolm, deranged with love, had not thought of that. But Julian could think of nothing else.”

“Maldoror, écoute-moi. Remarque ma figure, calme comme un miroir, et je crois avoir une intelligence égale à la tienne. Un jour, tu m’appelas le soutien de ta vie. Depuis lors, je n’ai pas démenti la confiance que tu m’avais vouée. Je ne suis qu’un simple habitant des roseaux, c’est vrai ; mais, grâce à ton propre contact, ne prenant que ce qu’il y avait de beau en toi, ma raison s’est agrandie, et je puis te parler. Je suis venu vers toi, afin de te retirer de l’abîme. Ceux qui s’intitulent tes amis te regardent, frappés de consternation, chaque fois qu’ils te rencontrent, pâle et voûté, dans les théâtres, dans les places publiques, ou pressant, de deux cuisses nerveuses, ce cheval qui ne galope que pendant la nuit, tandis qu’il porte son maître-fantôme, enveloppé dans un long manteau noir. Abandonne ces pensées, qui rendent ton cœur vide comme un désert ; elles sont plus brûlantes que le feu. Ton esprit est tellement malade que tu ne t’en aperçois pas, et que tu crois être dans ton naturel, chaque fois qu’il sort de ta bouche des paroles insensées, quoique pleines d’une infernale grandeur. Malheureux ! qu’as-tu dit depuis le jour de ta naissance ? Ô triste reste d’une intelligence immortelle, que Dieu avait créée avec tant d’amour ! Tu n’as engendré que des malédictions, plus affreuses que la vue de panthères affamées ! Moi, je préférerais avoir les paupières collées, mon corps manquant des jambes et des bras, avoir assassiné un homme, que ne pas être toi ! Parce que je te hais. Pourquoi avoir ce caractère qui m’étonne ? De quel droit viens-tu sur cette terre, pour tourner en dérision ceux qui l’habitent, épave pourrie, ballottée par le scepticisme ? Si tu ne t’y plais pas, il faut retourner dans les sphères d’où tu viens. Un habitant des cités ne doit pas résider dans les villages, pareil à un étranger. Nous savons que, dans les espaces, il existe des sphères plus spacieuses que la nôtre, et donc les esprits ont une intelligence que nous ne pouvons même pas concevoir. Eh bien, va-t’en !… retire-toi de ce sol mobile !… montre enfin ton essence divine, que tu as cachée jusqu’ici ; et, le plus tôt possible, dirige ton vol ascendant vers la sphère, que nous n’envions point, orgueilleux que tu es ! Car, je ne suis pas parvenu à reconnaître si tu es un homme ou plus qu’un homme ! Adieu donc ; n’espère plus retrouver le crapaud sur ton passage. Tu es la cause de ma mort. Moi, je pars pour l’éternité, afin d’implorer ton pardon !”
“Male aggression and lust are the energizing factors in culture. They are men's tools of survival in the pagan vastness of female nature.”
Source: Sexual Personae
“Male aggressiveness consists in asking a woman to have intercourse and waiting for her to say yes, or a definite no. Skilful tacticians enhance their chances of making out by distributing their attentions among several women at a time (one version of 'playing the field') thus increasing their statistical chances for a favorable answer, depending on circumstances. This is the height of male aggressiveness that is tolerated. Genuine aggressiveness - rape - [men] have forbidden themselves by law.”

“Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.”
Source: Woman in the Nineteenth Century
“Male and female sexuality are very different, we are told, [...] None the less women are instructed to try to develop male sexual responses in order to be the 'ideal lover'. [...] So clearly sexual behaviour is not natural or inevitable. It can be learned where this serves the interests of male-dominant heterosexuality, and is only disconcertingly recalcitrant where such learning might serve women's interests.”

“Male appreciation hardened his features from doubt to certainty. Boobs, the best negotiation strategy of them all. She thanked the Lord and her genetics for her great rack.”

“Male athletes don't get dropped when they father kids.”

“Male chauvinism is . . . a shrewd method of extracting the maximum of work for the minimum of compensation.”

“Male conspiracy cannot explain all female failures. I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant. Genius is not checked by social obstacles: it will overcome.”
“Male" contraception is something novel for many people. There are still very few people using these methods, so they receive a lot of attention and a certain amount of approval among activist and feminist circles. The fact that you're seen as this cool guy, just because you're pushing up your family jewels...it says a lot about the state of things, in terms of the contraceptive burden. All we're doing is trying to make things more equal. There's nothing heroic about it...it's just natural.”

Source: Right-wing women: the politics of domesticated females
“Male domination is so rooted in our collective unconscious that we no longer even see it.”
“Male domination, and the low and stigmatised status of women, cause teenage girls to engage in punishment of their bodies through eating disorders and self-mutilation. There is increasing evidence that woman-hating Western cultures are toxic to girls and very harmful to their mental health. It is, perhaps, not surprising, therefore, that there seem to be some girls baling out and seeking to upgrade their status.”

“MALE I AM ASHAMED
"Male, I am ashamed today to be or not to be.
Seeing your pleasures gained with bleeding stains.
The pain and agony that satisfies thy libido insane.
Hardness to limp life gone in a blink.
Age no bar, nor relation is, and oh male your
image is getting marred.
The day is not far when
Family, friends and society will scorn when a male is born because of some prick-ing thorns.”
