men quotes

Anna Garlin Spencer: 

The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.

Betty Friedan:

Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.

If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.

Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.

Virginia Woolf: 

Why are women ... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
