Men are not only women's unpaid bodyguards, they actually pay to be a woman's bodyguard.

It is in the interests of both sexes to hear the other sex's experience of powerlessness.

Divorces led to bodies of men (called legislatures) protecting women collectively as other men (called husbands) failed to protect women individually.

I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize
