Stephen Lewis Quotes

Men seem unable to feel equal to women: they must be superior or they are inferior.

I think it is too hard for men to talk about gender. We have to let men talk about this... because we need men to talk about this if it is ever going to change.

It is probably true to say that the largest scope for changes still lies in men's attitude to women, and in women's attitude to themselves

As women are empowered, violence can come down, for a number of reasons. By all measures, men are the more violent gender.

One of the goals of the Feminist Elite is to reinforce to women the idea that men are obsolete.

Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.

Feminism has been so co-opted, but the fact is, feminism benefits men as well.

I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things that women have is men.

Were there no women, men might live like gods.

The emancipation of women will only be possible if the traditional world of men also changes.

I nodded. A man's world. But what did it mean? That men whistled and stared and yelled things at you, and you had to take it, or you get raped or beat up? A man's world meant places men could go but not women. It meant they had more money,and didn't have kids, not the way women did, to look after every second. And it meant that women loved them more than they loved the women, that they could want something with all their hearts, and then not.

I don't think women are better than men, I think men are a lot worse than women.

Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women.

It's a man's world, and you men can have it.

Women need to be empowered through the strongest tool - education. They don't need to be subservient to anyone, but at the same time, men must change their mindset towards women. If they are more respectful towards them, then things will change at the grassroots level. It will happen slowly, but everyone has to move together.

Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.

One of the few ways in which I feel I've actually matured is that as I've grown older I do find the concept of 'men' mystifying, whereas when I was a feisty young thing I was forever saying 'The most fun part of being a feminist is frightening men!'

Men are much more agressive with their advances.

One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.

I've never seen a world where only men were responsible for the violence, and the women were innocent. They go together. Men and women are a violent mixture.

Men's need to dominate women may be based in their own sense of marginality or emptiness; we do not know its root, and men are making no effort to discover it.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues, the legal issues, sexual harassment, date rape, women who kill, and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.

First I would probably place men at the bottom of the food chain. On a grander scale, I would say they're reacting to change. Feminism has got to be part of that.

Society says that men need to be bigger and stronger, and they must protect their women and so on.

I would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.
