• Men are recognizing that they have been forced to conform to a very narrow and rather two-dimensional picture of maleness and manhood that they have never had the freedom to question.

• Surely we have had enough of confusing maleness with "usefulness" and other human virtues. If men had a more modest view of what their masculinity ought to entail, perhaps they could move on from debilitating feelings of loss to tackling their real economic and political problems.

• El cromosoma masculino es un cromosoma femenino incompleto. En otras palabras, el varón es un aborto andante; abortado en la fase genética. Ser varón es ser deficiente, emocionalmente limitado; la masculinidad es una enfermedad carencial y los varones son lisiados emocionales.

• ...congenital killers and criminals are possessed of not one but two Y chromosomes, bearing a double dose, as it were, of genetically undesirable maleness.

• Tardé mucho tiempo en darme cuenta de que mi masculinidad le cortaba el paso a Yoko [Ono]. Ella es una liberacionista al rojo vivo y no tardó en mostrarme dónde me equivocaba, aunque a mí me parecía que actuaba con naturalidad. Por eso siempre me interesa saber cómo tratan a las mujeres los que dicen ser radicales.

• The power of patriarchy has been to make maleness feared and to make men feel that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Whether they can confess this or not, men know that just is not true.

• When the stories of our life no longer bind us, we discover within them something greater. We discover that within the very limitations of form, of our maleness and femaleness, of our parenthood and our childhood, of gravity on the earth and the changing of the seasons, is the freedom and harmony we have sought for so long. Our individual life is an expression of the whole mystery, and in it we can rest in the center of the movement, the center of all worlds.

• Maleness in America is not absolutely defined; it has to be kept and re-earned every day, and one essential element in the definition is beating women in every game that both sexes play.

• El elemento de masculinidad heroica siempre había estado presente en el concepto del artista como alguien que cabalga el caballo alado por encima de las nubes más allá de la vista de los hombres inferiores, un concepto que rara vez se aplicaba a quienes trabajaban con colores hasta el siglo XIX. Cuando se plantea la pregunta inevitable: "¿Por qué no hay grandes mujeres artistas?", es esta dimensión del arte la que está implícita. Los que preguntan saben poco de arte, pero conocen las siete maravillas del mundo de la pintura.

• There's no telling from poem to poem where this brilliant 'conversation' about maleness and gender will lead---there are poems about husbands and wives, parents and children, Elvis, Apollo, Walt Whitman, rhythms of its politics. Manthology is a remarkably honest and enormously heartening collection.

• [Warfare is] maleness in its absurdest extremes. Here is to be studied the whole gamut of basic masculinity, from the initial instinct of combat, through every form of glorious ostentation, with the loudest accompaniment of noise.

• I don't believe in categorising a gender, as it makes for discord. People always say, 'That's what men are like' or, 'That's what women do'; I don't really feel that at all. I think that's because I have two fathers, three brothers, a husband and two sons. I'm surrounded by maleness, and I couldn't possibly summarise them into a type.

• Parte de la razón por la que las imágenes de mujeres en puestos de autoridad están marcadas por su género es que la propia noción de autoridad está asociada a la masculinidad.

• In our patriarchal world, we are all taught - whether we like to think we are or not - that God, being male, values maleness much more than he values femaleness... that in order to propitiate God, women must propitiate men.

• Este miedo a la masculinidad que inspiran aleja a los hombres de todas las mujeres de sus vidas en mayor o menor medida, y los hombres sienten la pérdida. En última instancia, uno de los costes emocionales de la lealtad al patriarcado es ser considerado indigno de confianza. Si a las mujeres y niñas de la cultura patriarcal se nos enseña a ver a todos los hombres, incluidos aquellos con los que intimamos, como violadores y asesinos en potencia, entonces no podemos ofrecerles nuestra confianza, y sin confianza no hay amor.

• Es cierto que la mujer negra se ocupaba de las tareas domésticas, del trabajo pesado; es cierto que criaba a los hijos, a menudo sola, pero hacía todo eso mientras ocupaba un lugar en el mercado de trabajo, un lugar que su compañero no podía conseguir o que su orgullo no le permitía aceptar.Y no tenía nada a lo que recurrir: ni la masculinidad, ni la blancura, ni la feminidad, ni nada. Y desde la profunda desolación de su realidad, es muy posible que se haya inventado a sí misma.
