“The difference between men and women is this--if you catch a woman butt-naked, she tries to cover the private parts with her hands. A man will sit there just like you found him even if he doesn't have much to be proud of.”
― Deb Baker, Murder Passes the Buck

“The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he's a baby.”
― Natalie Wood

“Men. If you give them half a chance, they'll fuck you over just to prove they can.”
― Dennis Lehane, Mystic River

“It's men who trust they will suffer no consequences for their actions, while women suffer no matter what they do.”
― Meghan MacLean Weir, The Book of Essie
