I'm quite a chauvinistic person.

I would consider myself one of the least misogynistic men in the country - if anything, just the opposite.

I am not somebody who goes around saying men are superior or that male writers are superior. In fact, I really go out of my way to champion women's work that I think is not getting enough attention. None of that is ever enough. Because a villain is needed. It's like there's no way to make myself not male.

When women do take on traditionally male subjects, certain male colleagues can seem affronted that a woman has dared to trespass on their subject.

Woman is a violent and uncontrolled animal, and it is useless to let go the reins and then expect her not to kick over the traces. You must keep her on a tight rein . . .

Once they have achieved equality, they will be your masters . . .

You may think she's ugly, but everyone else thinks you're an idiot.
