  1. “"Masculinity" is as damaging to men as "Femininity" is to women. Neither is something to aspire to. Women who understand this are called feminists. Men who understand this aren't called anything yet, but maybe they can just be called feminists too.”

  2. “Instead, Orenstein finds that during a drawing exercise at her daughter's preschool, boys imagined themselves as everything from animals to insects, snack foods to superheroes, while girls were uniformly princesses, fairies, butterflies, or ballerinas.”

  3. “Something that frustrates me about the field of computer science is that there are a lot of jerks who think that just because they've "mastered" some programming language or know some obscure unix commands, they are gods and you are nothing.”

  5. “There’s that story that’s used over and over where a guy gets called up to pitch and he’s 40% ready and he’s like “I’ll be right there.” And then they call up the woman entrepreneur, and she’s 80% ready and she’s like “can we please reschedule?””

  6. “Subtle gender discrimination continues to be rampant,” Hebl says. “And it’s important to acknowledge this because you cannot remediate discrimination until you are first aware of it.

  7. “three bits of advice for well-paid women: Leave the snazzy company car at home on the first date; find your life partner in your 20s, rather than your 30s, before you’ve become too successful. And go after men who draw their confidence from sources other than money, like academics and artists.”

  8. “But if masculine means assertive, self-reliant and powerful, you can see how easily a woman can get screwed in the eyes of her beholders. This is often referred to as backlash and because women fear backlash they often don't act in their best interests. The researchers found that both men AND women negatively evaluate women who do not behave in stereotypically female ways.”

  9. “If you think that me allowing my son to be a female character for Halloween is somehow going to ‘make’ him gay then you are an idiot. Firstly, what a ridiculous concept. Secondly, if my son is gay, OK. I will love him no less. Thirdly, I am not worried that your son will grow up to be an actual ninja so back off.”
