“Yet the opposite is true. Those who speak of ‘toxic masculinity’ are not criticising men, but rather defending them: describing an ideology and a system that pressures the boys and men in our societies, in our families, to conform to unrealistic, unhealthy and unsustainable ideals. Crushing gender stereotypes are damaging to men as individuals, as well as to the society in which they live.”
― Laura Bates, Men Who Hate Women: From Incels to Pickup Artists, the Truth About Extreme Misogyny and How it Affects Us All

“Enverguei a coroa imperial de França, a coroa de ferro de Itália; a Inglaterra deu-me agora a coroa mais importante e mais gloriosa do que qualquer uma delas - pois foi a que usou o salvador do mundo -, uma coroa de espinhos.

― Napoleão Bonaparte

― George Orwell, Notes on Nationalism
