One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.
Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.
Men are limited by the knowledge of their minds, the worth of their characters and the principles upon which they are building their lives.
When men organize themselves into groups, and they make rules based on common or self-interest, it's always tangled and political.
Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.
Men display less self-doubt and lead with what seems always like a sense of force and direction. We are not as familiar with women leaders, and so we question their skills. As women, we always need to work harder to prove our competence.
To say that a thing has never yet been done among men is to erect a barrier stronger than reason, stronger than discussion.
All men have an instinct for conflict: at least, all healthy men.
Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.
