“This day is a reminder to us all that there are man. Who have unconditioned love, who have time and respect for their women and children. Man who gives advice's, attention, guidance, help, wisdom and education to their women and children. A man who encourages, motivates and inspire their women and children. A man who sacrifices everything for their children and women, not a man who sacrifices their child and women for everything. A man who uses their strength to protect their family, not a man who uses their strength to hurt their family. Not a man who abuses, rape, molest, threaten, torture, or humiliate their children and family. To all those good man. Happy Fathers Day. May God bless you more. Don’t stop what you are doing and may other men learn from your ways.”

Zeyn Joukhadar
“I've become just like the white boys at middle-school dances: the boys by the wall, earthbound boys, wing-severed boys with stiff bodies. There is nothing behind the door in my chest that should uncage the kind of feminine softness I should have, the kind you told me would settle into my chest and my hips. It never did.”
Zeyn Joukhadar, The Thirty Names of Night

Zeyn Joukhadar
“A drumbeat joins Sami's rhythm, the crowd ripples and separates, and soon we are dancing. Here in this place the city carved out and abandoned, there is only movement and heat and darkness. I can't see my body, or Reem's, or Sami's, or anyone's. I can only feel my hips moving the stale air and listen to the rise and fall of the feet of those around me.

I have been taught all my life that masculinity means short hair and square-toed shoes, taking up space, raising one's voice. To be soft is to be less of a man. To be gentle, to laugh, to create art, to bleed between the legs -- I have been taught that these things make me a woman. I have been taught all my life that to dance is to be vulnerable, and that the world will crush the vulnerable. I was taught to equate invincibility with being worthy of love. But here in the darkness of his abandoned subway platform, I can almost imagine a world big enough for boys like Sami and me to love each other, to dance and let the pain out of our bodies, to breathe and make love and be enough and be enough and be enough.”
Zeyn Joukhadar, The Thirty Names of Night

Quentin Crisp

“A father is someone who uses their strength to protect their family not someone who uses their strength to hurt their family.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“He really was handsome. Not in some metrosexual, slick, pampered way that many of her male acquaintances were back home. He looked like . . . a man. Broad, rugged, imperfect.”
Lana DeAngeli, Mr. Big Wrench & the Heiress

“The hardest thing of being a man for me is not knowing you have done or said something wrong, but everyday being persecuted for it . A man can never defend himself for any wrong doing, because even the guilty ones claim they are innocent. Yet true innocent ones, always get wrongfully convicted. While guilty ones walk free.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

Richard W. Wrangham
“...where coercive alliances regulate societal rules, conflicts between the interests of men and women consistently end in men's favor. Patriarchy in this sense is currently a human universal.”
Richard W. Wrangham, The Goodness Paradox: The Strange Relationship Between Virtue and Violence in Human Evolution

Richard W. Wrangham

Vikram Seth
“I vecchi si aggrappano al potere e alle loro convinzioni, che ammettono tutti i loro vizi peggiori ma escludono il minimo errore e soffocano la minima innovazione dei giovani. Poi, grazie a Dio, muoiono e non possono fare più danni. Ma ormai noi, i giovani, siamo diventati vecchi, e ci sforziamo di quel po' di male che loro hanno lasciato incompiuto.”
Vikram Seth, A Suitable Boy, Vol. 1

“பெண்ணைக் குறித்த பார்வை பெண்ணினிடமிருந்தே துவங்கவேண்டும்; அப்போதுதான் பெண்ணின் மனதில் காலம்காலமாய் ஏற்றப்பட்டு புரையோடிப்போன ஆண் சிந்தனை உடையும்; பெண்ணுக்கு பெண்ணே எதிரி என்று சொல்லித் திரியும் பட்டிமன்ற சொல்லாடல்கள் மாறும்; அதை ரசிக்கும் பெண்களின் உளப்பாங்கும் மாறுபடும் என்பனவெல்லாம் தொடர்ந்து சொல்லப்பட்டு வருகின்றன.”
Ahila Dorairaj, மண்சட்டி | சிறுகதைகள்: Mansatti | Short Stories

“These days man are known as trash. They are feared, not trusted. They are not respected and loved as human beings anymore, because of the recent things happening to women and children.

But this day is a reminder to us all that there are man. Who have unconditioned love, who have time and respect for their women and children. Man who gives advice's, attention, guidance, help, wisdom and education to their women and children. A man who encourages, motivates and inspire their women and children. A man who sacrifices everything for their children and women, not a man who sacrifices their child and women for everything. A man who uses their strength to protect their family, not a man who uses their strength to hurt their family. Not a man who abuses, rape, molest, threaten, torture, or humiliate their children and family. To all those good man. Happy Fathers Day. May God bless you more. Don’t stop what you are doing and may other men learn from your ways.

If your father did you wrong. If you grew up without a father or someone playing a father role in your life. It doesn’t mean you should take away the efforts of those who are trying to be good fathers to their family. It doesn’t mean you should undermine, and not acknowledge or respect what other fathers are doing out there for their children. All the sacrifices they are making. There are good fathers out there and to those Fathers Happy Fathers Day.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“I had to warn other man that a women can walk naked. She will be praised as being sexy and being comfortable in her own skin, but a man can't do the same. He will be called a pervert, creepy or a freak.

A women can sexually challenge a man and it will be called seduction and a man can't do the same,because it will be called sexual harassment.

Times have changed , man need to be extra careful how they behave. They need to watch what they do around women and how they treat women, because it might be wrong or it might be interpreted in a wrong way.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“Praying mantis cuts off the male's head. Guillotine: the erection of crowds. (Mante religieuse coupe la tête du mâle. Guillotine: l'érection des foules)”

Natascha Kampusch
“Meno di ogni altra cosa mi fu perdonato che non condannassi il rapitore come l’opinione pubblica si aspettava. Non volevano sentirmi dire che non esiste un male assoluto, una netta distinzione tra bianco e nero. Sicuro, il rapitore mi aveva tolto la mia adolescenza, mi aveva imprigionato e torturato, e tuttavia negli anni decisivi tra il mio undicesimo e diciannovesimo anno di vita, era anche stato la mia unica figura di riferimento. Fuggendo, non mi ero soltanto liberata del mio aguzzino, ma avevo perso anche una persona che mi era stata inevitabilmente vicina. Ma, per quanto possa essere difficile da comprendere, non mi era concesso portare il lutto. Non appena cominciavo a tracciare un quadro diversificato del rapitore, la gente alzava gli occhi al cielo e volgeva lo sguardo altrove. Le persone si sentono spiacevolmente toccate quando le categorie di Bene e Male vacillano e loro devono confrontarsi con il fatto che anche la personificazione del Male ha sembianze umane. Il lato oscuro di un criminale non cade dal cielo, nessuno nasce mostro. Noi tutti diventiamo quello che siamo attraverso il contatto con il mondo, con altre persone. E così, in definitiva, siamo tutti responsabili di quello che succede nelle nostre famiglie, nel nostro ambiente. Confessarselo non è facile. E diventa molto più difficile, quando qualcuno mette davanti a un altro lo specchio che non è previsto per questo. Con le mie dichiarazioni ho toccato un punto dolente e tentando di scoprire l’essere umano dietro la facciata dell’aguzzino e del moralizzatore, ho suscitato incomprensione.”
Natascha Kampusch, 3,096 Days

“Morality was supreme because it joined male and female characteristics. Blending the best characteristics of both sexes and the 'opposite' races - the characteristics of intelligence and compassion - Comte claimed the legitimacy to act as the spokesperson for the collective being Humanity and to regenerate society. As a completely unified and moral person, he could create within society the solidarity necessary for progress. In a way, he was challenging the two androgynes who had captured the imagination of his contemporaries: Joan of Arc and George Sand. Comte appeared to heed the words of a feminist journal. La Voix des Femmes, which proclaimed in 1848 that 'Woman must ... emancipate man by making him a woman.”
Mary Pickering, Auguste Comte: An Intellectual Biography, Volume III

Lynn S. Zubernis
“While male media fans fear being perceived as not sexual enough, female fans fear being categorized as too sexual, or at the very least too emotional.”
Lynn S. Zubernis, Fandom At The Crossroads: Celebration, Shame and Fan/Producer Relationships

Avijeet Das
“A masculine man wears his attitude. He is as much comfortable wearing three piece suits as he is in wearing ripped torn jeans. He does not chase love, women, or power. He gets them anyhow. He would never ever give up his masculinity for anyone or anything in his life. He lives by his ideals that are tattooed to his soul. He does not believe in leading a comfortable life with luxuries. Rather he works hard to achieve his goals in life. He lives raw. He wanders often. And his life story becomes a testament to his masculinity!”
Avijeet Das

“সাদা ও কালো, খাটো ও লম্বা- এসব 'বৈষম্য' নয়; এগুলো আল্লাহর দ্বারা নিয়ন্ত্রিত এক ধরণের 'ভারসাম্য'। আমরা পুরুষ ও স্ত্রীলোকের মধ্যেও একই ভারসাম্য দেখি। মহিলারা পুরুষদের চেয়ে শারীরিকভাবে কিছুটা দুর্বল এবং এটি 'বৈষম্য' নয়। প্রকৃতপক্ষে, এটি অস্তিত্ব, বাস্তবতা, সৌন্দর্য এবং জীবনের স্বার্থে প্রয়োজনীয় এবং সুন্দর ভারসাম্য!”
MD Ziaul Haque

“Black and white, short and tall- these are not ‘discriminations’; they are a kind of ‘balance’ maintained by Allah. We see the same balance between males and females. The females are a little bit physically weaker than the males and it is not ‘discrimination’. Indeed, it is a necessary and beautiful balance for the sake of existence, reality, beauty, and life!”
MD Ziaul Haque
