“it’s absurd to believe that men, by returning to primitive and misogynistic behaviours, would deserve a higher position in society, or a position in society at all. If men truly are worried that their voices are becoming distant, then it’s only with advanced learning, greater understanding and informed opinions that they can expect to be listened to more closely. A perspective on social issues won’t be affirmed by acting childishly, or by complaining that men aren’t allowed to whistle at women in the street any more. It’ll be done, basically, by thinking and talking more like feminists.”

The real problem men face today is not the rise of women.

We are not Lewis from Revenge of the Nerds, we are not Steve Urkel from Family Matters, we are not Preston Myers from Can’t Hardly Wait, we are not Seth Rogen in every movie Seth Rogen has ever been in, we are not f*cking Mario racing to the castle to beat Bowser because we know there’s a princess in there waiting for us.”
