Hanna Rosin Men Quotations

Evolutionary psychology tells us that men, especially powerful men, feel invincible and entitled to spread their seed, and that women can't resist the scent of masculine power. Women, by contrast, are said to be more altruistic and collaborative, seeking power so that they can share it with others.

We can keep whatever we like about manhood but adjust the parts of the definition that are keeping men back.

We can no more create the perfect environment for our children than we can create perfect children.

In China, a lot of the opening up of private entrepreneurship is happening because women are starting businesses, small businesses, faster than men.

If you look at total numbers in the working and middle class, men still on average make more than women.

I deeply believe that men and women need each other.

Men need marriage more than women do. In fact, they need it to survive.

The launch of a space shuttle can still make you weep with amazement and wonder, if you happen to be watching it.

The general image of a man in an American sitcom is like a complete moron. You'd think the industry was run by a feminist cabal.

Women are just much better at getting degrees than men. It seems that school at every level plays to the natural strengths of women more than it does to men.

Women have taken on traditionally masculine roles and professions, and there is no real equivalent for men. Men are still extremely reluctant, as we all are reluctant to see them, take on traditionally feminine roles or professions. That is just not something that they do easily.

Women have a tendency not to give up realms once they take over new ones. We are still proprietary over the domestic realm even as we take over new professional realms, and that is a real problem.

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.

Workplaces still operate like it's 1962 and one person is always at home, and they are not very good at adjusting for the fact that a majority of women work and take care of children.

Yes, the upper reaches of society are still dominated by men.

For women in, say, Alabama, 'feminism' is a dirty word. They would never march in the streets. But although they don't think of themselves as the beneficiaries of feminism, they are.

Interestingly, one thing I've found that neither women nor men give up on is the idea of men as protectors. Even in cases where the woman is earning more, they'll often tell me that if there were a fire or something, they would expect the man to be the one to protect them.

Men and women are equally intelligent, but separate factors, such as the abilities to focus, be collaborative and take other people's views into account, allow you to be successful.

Women are choosing to stay single rather than marry men who can't step up and provide.

Women don't give up things. They don't give up responsibilities. They add new things. They exhaust themselves and still don't give anything up. And. And. And. And. And they do all these other things at the same time, which can be exhausting.

Because women have been marginalised, they're more likely to behave like immigrants and continue to push themselves forward in order to avoid falling through the cracks, but I don't think a happy ending comes from matriarchy.

I grew up with a pretty tough mom. She was a self-appointed neighborhood watchdog, and if she saw that any of the local boys were up to no good, she would scold them on the spot. Although she is only 5 feet 2, she was famous in our neighborhood for intimidating men three times her size and getting them to do the right thing.

The modern economy is becoming a place where women hold the cards.

If men can quilt and take over the kitchen, then women can pick up a wrench and fix a leaky pipe.

As we get used to women in power, we are likely to discover that they behave much like powerful men - vain, entitled, always looking for more.
