“In this book masculine pronouns embrace not only the feminine but also the robotic.”
John McCarthy
“We are born male or female, but not masculine or feminine.”
Sandra Bartky
“In the theory of gender I began from zero. There is no masculine power or privilege I did not covet. But slowly, step by step, decade by decade, I was forced to acknowledge that even a woman of abnormal will cannot escape her hormonal identity.”
Camille Paglia
“Unlike femininity, relaxed masculinity is at bottom empty, a limp nullity. While the female body is full of internal potentiality, the male is internally barren. Manhood at the most basic level can be validated and expressed only in action.”
George Gilder
“Feminine passion is to masculine as an epic is to an epigram”
Karl Kraus
“The male stereotype makes masculinity not just a fact of biology but something that must be proved and re-proved, a continual quest for an ever-receding Holy Grail”
Marc Feigen Fasteau
“Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.”
David Hare
