fellow love loves men
If a person loves only one other person, and is indifferent to his fellow men, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.
dream book men
It's absolutely philistine not to recognize what a great book 'An American Dream' is. Norman Mailer is his own worst enemy, and if you don't catch him in a defensive position, he'll admit it. I'd really like to help that man.
men answers way
How you answer the question, whether individuals should be persuaded to live their whole lives in a state of chemical dependency, first upon contraceptive steroids and then on replacement therapy, depends upon your regard for the autonomy of the individual. If men would not live their lives this way, why should women?
gratitude jobs men
The few men who do a hand's turn around the house expect gratitude and recognition, so sure are they that, though it is their dirt, it is not their job.
men facts disgusted
Women are reputed never to be disgusted. The sad fact is that they often are, but not with men; following the lead of men, they are most often disgusted with themselves
coffee home men
There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood what women want and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
angel men secret
I find that those men who are personally most polite to women, who call them angels and all that, cherish in secret the greatest contempt for them.
sex fun men
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
falling-in-love sex men
I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman. Damn.
men shoes height
The high-heeled shoe is a marvellously contradictory item; it brings a woman to a man's height but makes sure she cannot keep up with him.
hate men ideas
Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.
jealousy men amour
Man is jealous because of his amour propre; woman is jealous because of her lack of it.
men culture care
English culture is basically homosexual in the sense that the men only really care about other men.
mean men talking
The sight of women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays it means rank subversion.
