Sarah J. Maas
“Males are horrible creatures, aren’t they?”
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

Criss Jami
“We men are fascinated by the things we don't really understand. It gives us something to think and talk about: like females, they drive us nuts.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Valerie Solanas
“The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.”
Valerie Solanas, SCUM Manifesto

Nalini Singh
“You can drive.”
When he raised an eyebrow, she said, "I've had enough contact with human males to realize you seem to have a congenital inability to function while a female is at the wheel, and I'd rather your full attention be on the case.”
Nalini Singh, Bonds of Justice

Anita Clenney
“All human males were as fascinated with cars as they were with breasts.”
Anita Clenney

“The important thing to realize is the males in most species will breed with any female who stays still long enough. It's the females who are selective. What they desire has a huge effect. If all the female walruses got together one day to decide they wanted polka dots, within a few generations the males would have polka dots. The female's wish made physical on the male's body.”
Audrey Schulman, Theory of Bastards

Milan Sime Martinic
“It is the nature of males to seek power, and it is the test of a man's will to prove himself. Because of this, we want authority, we want to go further than the moment, we want to be great and to own great moments, even as young boys.”
-Milan Sime Martinic, Ironway: Watching Over Benjamin Hill -

Brian K. Vaughan
“The boy moths get fooled by a smell?
No, they get fooled by sex. All males do.”
Brian K. Vaughan, Y: The Last Man - The Deluxe Edition Book Three

Ibram X. Kendi
“Donald Trump’s economic policies are geared toward enriching White male power—but at the expense of most of his White male followers, along with the rest of us.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Margareta Magnusson
“His snickarbod (Swedish for "toolshed") gradually became what I believe today is called a "man cave." In Swedish we also now sometimes call it mansdagis-- a male kindergarten, which makes me smile and which feels like an entirely appropriate word.”
Margareta Magnusson, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter

“God has created the females more beautifully than the males because He knows that if the females are attractive, then the males will be more attracted to them, there will be more marriages, further physical unions, kids will be born, and God’s divine purpose to continually people the world will be smooth and easy!”
Md. Ziaul Haque

Richard W. Wrangham
“The problem in both human and ape history is that political power is built on physical power - and physical power is ultimately the power of violence or its threat.”
Richard W. Wrangham, Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence

Randolph M. Nesse
“Criminalization and interdiction have filled prisons and corrupted governments in country after country. However, increasingly potent drugs that can be synthetized in any basement make controlling access increasingly impossible. Legalization seems like a good idea but causes more addiction. Our strongest defense is likely to be education, but scare stories make kids want to try drugs. Every child should learn that drugs take over the brain and turn some people into miserable zombies and that we have no way to tell who will get addicted the fastest. They should also learn that the high fades as addiction takes over.”
Randolph M. Nesse, Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry

Randolph M. Nesse
“Most chemicals that give humans a buzz evolved to disrupt insect nervous systems. If our brains used different chemicals, we would not be so vulnerable. However, we have common ancestors with insects. It was long ago, about 500 million years ago, when our ancestors split off from the arthropod lines that became modern insects. However, our neurochemicals remain about the same as theirs. Fortunately, most plant neurotoxins don’t kill us. We have evolved to eat plants, and we are much larger than insects, so low doses are not fatal. But drugs can hijack our motivation mechanisms and take control of our lives.”
Randolph M. Nesse, Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry

Steven Magee
“The majority of COVID-19 deaths are males.”
Steven Magee

“স্রষ্টা মেয়েদেরকে ছেলেদের চেয়ে বেশি সুন্দর করে সৃষ্টি করেছেন কারণ তিনি জানেন যে যদি মেয়েরা আকর্ষণীয় হয়, তবে ছেলেরা তাদের প্রতি আরও বেশি আকর্ষিত হবে, বিবাহ বেশি হবে, শারীরিক সম্পর্ক বাড়বে, সন্তান ভূমিষ্ঠ হবে এবং স্রষ্টার পৃথিবীকে অবিরত মানুষে পরিপূর্ণ রাখার স্বর্গীয় উদ্দেশ্যটি সহজ ও সাবলীল হবে!”
Md. Ziaul Haque

“Women have sex with whoever they want and anytime they want. Meanwhile man have sex when they can.
Man marry whoever they want , whenever they want. Meanwhile woman marry when they can.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

Richard W. Wrangham
“Males have evolved to possess strong appetites for power because with extraordinary power males can achieve extraordinary reproduction.”
Richard W. Wrangham, Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence

Richard W. Wrangham
“Women's evolved strategic responses to male demonism have included countermeasures and defiance, but they also included collaboration. That is to say, while men have evolved to be demonic males, it seems likely that women have evolved to prefer demonic males (or imitation demonic males) as mates.”
Richard W. Wrangham, Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence

Richard W. Wrangham
“...those who have political power can count on someone coming to their aid - the police or the military or the mob or the family, or the royal guard.”
Richard W. Wrangham, Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence

Richard W. Wrangham
“We should accept the likelihood that male violence and male dominance over women have long been a part of our history. But with an evolutionary perspective we can firmly reject the pessimists who say it has to stay that way. Male demonism is not inevitable.”
Richard W. Wrangham, Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence

Richard W. Wrangham
“That great human brain is nature's most frightening product.
But it is simultaneously nature's best, most hopeful gift. If we are cursed with a demonic male temperament and a Machiavellian capacity to express it, we are also blessed with an intelligence that can, through the acquisition of wisdom, draw us away from the 5-million-year stain of our ape past. Intelligence is something we are familiar with, an old book, and old friend.”
Richard W. Wrangham, Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence

Steven Magee
“Manopause should be treated in older males that are having unusual health issues.”
Steven Magee, Night Shift Recovery

Frans de Waal
“With every male trying to ensure that his life's savings ended up in the right hands -those of his own progeny- an obsession with virginity and chastity became inevitable. Patriarchy, as it's known, can be thought of simply as an outgrowth of male assistance with the rearing of offspring.”
Frans de Waal, Our Inner Ape: A Leading Primatologist Explains Why We Are Who We Are

Greg Iles
“Has anybody even talked to Dr. Shields yet?"

Willie shrugged. Then his radio crackled again.

"We've set up the command post in the Shieldses' front yard, under a stand of trees. Tell Carl to get his ass up here, ricky-tick."

"You heard the man," said Willie.

Carl exhaled long and slow, trying to prepare himself for the blast of testosterone he would encounter a few hundred yards up the street.”
Greg Iles, Third Degree

Sarah J. Maas
“Males are horrible creatures, aren't they?' Amren said.

'Repulsive,' Mor said, clicking her tongue.

Some surviving, small part of my heart wanted to... laugh at that.”
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

Steven Magee
“COVID-19 is known to depress testosterone levels in males.”
Steven Magee, COVID Supplements

Randolph M. Nesse
“The trajectory is clear: our minds have always been vulnerable to capture by alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, coca, and opium, but problems with them have escalated as advances in chemistry, transportation, and technology have increased the diversity, purity, and availability of drugs. The mismatch was bad before; now it’s getting much worse.”
Randolph M. Nesse, Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry

Ann Petry
“The female wasn't complicated, it was the male who was complicated. The female was simple, elemental, direct, primordial.”
Ann Petry, The Narrows
