“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

Brandon Sanderson
“I will protect those I hate. Even if the one I hate most is myself.”
Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer

Caroline Criado Pérez
“The result of this deeply male-dominated culture is that the male experience, the male perspective, has come to be seen as universal, while the female experience--that of half the global population, after all--is seen as, well, niche.”
Caroline Criado-Pérez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Brandon Sanderson
“Inappropriate?” Pattern said. “Such as … dividing by zero?”
Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer

Pauli Murray
“When my brothers try to draw a circle to exclude me, I shall draw a larger circle to include them. Where they speak out for the privileges of a puny group, I shall shout for the rights of all mankind.”
Pauli Murray
