“In little more than a generation, feminism has obliterated roles. If you wonder why so many men choose not to get married, the answer lies in large part in the contemporary devaluation of the husband and of the father - of men as men, in other words.” IfsMenLittlesLyingFatherAnswersWonderRolesGenerationsFeminismHusbandMarriedContemporary Author:Dennis Prager

“It is obvious that many women have appropriated feminism to serve their own ends, especially those white women who have been at the forefront of the movement; but rather than resigning myself to this appropriation I choose to re-appropriate the term “feminism,” to focus on the fact that to be “feminist” in any authentic sense of the term is to want for all people, female and male, liberation from sexist role patterns, domination, and oppression.” PeopleWantHas BeensEndsFactsTermWhiteRolesFocusFeminismMovementFemaleMalesPatternsFeministObviousOppressionLiberationAppropriateDominationSexistAppropriationResigningFemales And Males Author:Bell Hooks

“I hate how box office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don’t see a box office failure blamed on men.

“I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl.

“The suffering of either sex - of the male who is unable, because of the way in which he was reared, to take the strong initiating or patriarchal role that is still demanded of him, or of the female who has been given too much freedom of movement as a child to stay placidly within the house as an adult - this suffering, this discrepancy, this sense of failure in an enjoined role, is the point of leverage for social change.” WayChildrenHas BeensStillsSufferingHouseStrongGivenSocialSexRolesToo MuchFeminismMovementAdultsFemaleMalesSocial ChangeDiscrepancies Author:Margaret Mead
