Women's greater social desirability and beauty power afford opportunities for creating both measurable and invisible income.

In the case of a man and a woman [accused of commiting a crime together], both will often agree to the man taking the rap despite the man being more likely to receive a longer sentence and more likely to be raped in prison.

Men may be way behind in creating choices for themselves, but have actually been quiet supporters of the choices women want for themselves.

Men will not change as long as women 'marry up.' Men won't change until we have a perspective on how powerless power makes us. A woman cannot help a man change until she has a perspective on how powerless power makes men.
