Men ruin themselves headlong for unworthy women.
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.
Some men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.
I think the main thing that has to end is men's defensiveness.
It's incomprehensible for me to hear another dude talk about another's dude's pockets and have that matter and argue about that.
Any time your life is at stake and you can't find even one woman to come forward and say, 'This is a good man,' your problem isn't what kind of woman THEY are. Your problem is what kind of men YOU are.
In a general way, anything that affects men is taken more seriously than anything that affects only women.
The mid-life crisis hits men harder than women.
Gay men are still men.
Well, the tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn't killed our hearts. It's killed men's hearts. It's silenced them; it's cut them off.
I think you can't have this discussion and you can't have a discussion about feminism and the consciousness of the world without having a discussion about what has happened to men lately. They're holding the other side of the bag.
Most of us have felt barriers between ourselves and our fathers and had thought that going it alone was part of what it meant to be a man. We tried to get close to our children when we became fathers, and yet the business of practicing masculinity kept getting in the way. We men have begun to talk about that.
I believe the biggest stigma right now, with mental health, is that a lot of men are not talking about it.
I'm fascinated by the whole issue of arousal addiction, which seems to be mostly a problem for young men.
If you're a man in your twenties or thirties, and you have yet to make your fortune, I would urge you not to get married.
Single guys get a bad rap.
I think it's very much a men's thing to be able to have that fantasy to kill the beast.
Unfortunately, with men's health, we don't talk about it enough, and prostate cancer gets lost in the conversation.
Some men's magazines are just downright offensive.
When you talk to people in working class communities about men, the women aren't telling you that their guys are looking desperately for work but can't find it. An amazing number of them aren't interested in working.
Every kid I knew had a father with a little stash of men's magazines which the father thought was secret and which the kid knew all about.
It's good to raise awareness that men and boys are struggling, at least many of them are. But why say men are finished? It's too harsh, too sweeping, and it happens to not be true.
Men use music and football to fill up holes in their lives.
Women had a rights movement where they fought for changes. Men... don't band together in quite that way. It happens not in such a public-cascade way as in a house-to-house way.
Most men are fragile.
