“Men. The day they learned to admit to a mistake was the day they became women.”

“I curse the day starvation became a commonly accepted diet for women.”

“In the bad old days, men kept women from choosing to work. In the bad new days, women keep women from choosing to stay home.”

“As lovers, the difference between men and women is that women can love all day long, but men only at times.”

“But what if I make a mistake?' Will asked.Gilan threw back his head and laughed. 'A mistake? One mistake? You should be so lucky. You'll make dozens! I made four or five on my first day alone! Of course you'll make mistakes. Just don't make any of them twice. If you do mess things up, don't try to hide it. Don't try to rationalize it. Recognize it and admit it and learn from it. We never stop learning, none of us.”

“To live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren't is to learn inequality in little ways all day long. So even if we agree that sexual imagery is in fact a language, it is clearly one that is already heavily edited to protect men's sexual--and hence social--confidence while undermining that of women.”
