Just as women needed the help of the law to enter the workplace in the 20th century, men will need the help of the law to love their children in the 21st century.

Dads in the family are even more important than women in the workplace. The workplace benefits from women, but the family needs dads.

When a parent denies a child its parent time, that parent is denying the child its child support - its psychological child support.

Both sexes allow men dentists inside our mouths, but, well, have you ever let a man who is a dental hygienist inside your mouth? The man must earn his way to our private places in a way not required of a woman--he must become the doctor or the dentist, or forget it.

Letting men die is a money-saving device. Safety costs money as one safety official put it, 'When everything is hurry, hurry, hurry, when you start pressuring people and taking shortcuts, things can go wrong. And then people die.' No. And then men die.

I define power as control over ones life. A balanced life is far superior to the male definition of power: earning money someone else spends while he dies sooner.

Humans tend to start the process of change by acknowledging themselves. Thus blacks asserted black pride and 'black is beautiful' women declared 'I am woman, I am strong' men are saying 'I am man, I am okay.' After a quarter of a century of male bashing, that's not a bad start.

On a deeper level, if our sons are learning they are obscene, disgusting, and untrustworthy, is this the best preparation for fatherhood? And is it the best preparation for becoming a mother - to feel this way about her son?

The less a man is willing to give up a sex object, the more he'll be trapped into becoming a success object.

If women really earned fifty-nine cents to the dollar for the same work as men, what business could compete effectively by hiring men at any level?

One danger of a man succeeding is that it teaches his wife and daughter not to worry about success.

The teenage female has less demand to perform and more resources to attract love. Her body and mind are more genetic gifts.
