We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.

There's an unconscious bias in our society: girls are wonderful; boys are terrible. And to be a boy, or young man, growing up, having to listen to all this, it must be painful.

I never call them 'guys;' I always call them 'boys.' Maybe it's a superiority complex - my needing to keep them down.

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

For the longest time, you couldn't even say boys and girls were different. It was taboo in the educational world.

Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'

We should cease thinking about men as the enemy of children and women.

Politicians really worry about being politically correct.

I was thinking things had changed: that the next generation of men weren't as institutionally misogynist as the previous were. And then, suddenly, the Internet came along and gave them a platform to voice their feelings anonymously. And boy, did the bile come out.

Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women.
