“I would suggest that just as women who make it in the world of business need male business mentors, perhaps men who make it in the world of emotions will need female emotional mentors.” MenWorldNeedsEmotionEmotionalFemaleMalesMentor Author:Warren Farrell
“I realize that there are certain hardships that only females must endure, such as childbirth, waiting in lines for public-restroom stalls, and a crippling, psychotic obsession with shoe color. Also, females tend to reach emotional maturity very quickly, so that by age 7 they are no longer capable of seeing the humor in loud inadvertent public blasts of flatulence, whereas males can continue to derive vast enjoyment from this well into their 80s.” WellsAgeCertainWaitingRealizingLinesSeeingEmotionalColorCapableFemaleEndureMalesShoesObsessionLoudMaturityEnjoymentHardship80sBlastChildbirthPsychoticRestroomFlatulenceEmotional MaturityWaiting In Line Author:Dave Barry
“The mind is the enemy of intuition, according to many New Age adherents, but I don't buy that. I look at everything in terms of polarities - two ends of the same continuum. Young/old, male/female, individuality/conformity, work/play, freedom/constraint, right/left, day/night, life/death, rational/emotional, and so on.” MindLooksTwoEndsPlayAgeYoungNightLeftTermEnemyEmotionalFemaleMalesIndividualityIntuitionRationalConformityNew AgeConstraintsLife DeathContinuumPolarityMale FemaleWork PlayDay Night Author:Shakti Gawain
“For me, I like to show what guys are like when no one is looking and how we really are, and that we can be emotional and have these emotional lives.

“Masturbation is not physically necessary. There is already a way by which the male system relieves excessive spermatic fluid quite regularly through the nocturnal emission or wet dream. Monthly menstrual flow expels the female's egg and cleanses the womb. For both sexes, physical or emotional tensions can be released by vigorous activity. Thus, in a biological sense, masturbation for either gender is not necessary. In a gospel sense, it is a sin: Masturbation, a rather common indiscretion, is not approved of the Lord...regardless of what may have been said by others whose 'norms' are lower.” WayMayHas BeensSaidDreamSexSinCommonLordEmotionalActivityFemaleFlowMalesGenderTensionEggsWetNormWombFluidVigorousEmissionsApprovedMasturbationNocturnalWet Dreams Author:Spencer W.

“But there's also a strong emotional core to counterbalance the experimentalism, with some incredibly moving passages around the narrator's relationship with her (also female) German teacher.

“What does seem to be a constant is that I write more emotional stories the older I get. I think a lot of that has to do with growing up in a patriarchal structure where unemotional intellect (male) is taken more seriously than delving into emotions (female), and gradually freeing myself from those expectations.” ThinkingWritingDoeStoriesSeemsEmotionGrowing UpTakenGrowingEmotionalExpectationsFemaleStructureConstantMalesIntellectDelvingUnemotional Author:Karin Tidbeck
“What I like about Paper Girls in particular is that because we're approaching it more from a female perspective, we're able to consider the emotional states of these characters a little bit more, and think more of their interiority.” ThinkingLittlesStatesCharacterAbleGirlBitsEmotionalParticularPerspectivePaperLittle BitFemale Author:Cliff Chiang
“Any time you do anything different in this life, it's risky. But I've only done things differently, and it's gotten me quite far. If you want to make a splash, you've got to step out on that ledge and jump. And I could land flat on my face and it would be the biggest nightmare of my life. I'm willing to risk it. I want to help change the way male chefs see females. I want to show them that, yes, we're emotional and, yes, sometimes we make irrational decisions, but we're passionate about what we do, and that passion will propel us to the next level.” DifferentSometimesDoneHelpingPassionDecisionRiskEmotionalFemalePassionateNightmareIrrationalChefRisk It Author:Giada De Laurentiis

“If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?” IfsMenWayLongLevelsEmotionalMonthsMen And WomenFemaleFeministRationalSupposed To BeBehaveCyclesLogicalLowestHormones Book:Outrageous acts and everyday rebellions Source: Outrageous acts and everyday rebellions
“This fear of maleness that they inspire estranges men from every female in their lives to greater or lesser degrees, and men feel the loss. Ultimately, one of the emotional costs of allegiance to patriarchy is to be seen as unworthy of trust. If women and girls in patriarchal culture are taught to see every male, including the males with whom we are intimate, as potential rapists and murderers, then we cannot offer them our trust, and without trust there is no love.” IfsMenFeelsCultureGirlLossGreaterEmotionalInspireTaughtCostOffersDegreesFemaleMalesIncludingIntimatePatriarchyMurdererAllegianceUnworthyNo LoveWithout TrustMaleness Book:The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love Source: The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love
