Masculinity Quotes

I’m very empathic to the construction of masculinity within our culture and how we build these identities up Picture Quote #1

I mean, what is racism? Racism is a projection of our own fears onto another person. What is sexism? It’s our own vulnerability about our potency and masculinity projected as our need to subjugate another person, you know? Fascism, the same thing: People are trying to untidy our state, so I legislate as a way of controlling my environment Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked in pubs for years and you get people challenging you. Challenging your masculinity Picture Quote #1

Assumptions that racism is more oppressive to black men than black women, then and now ... based on acceptance of patriarchal notions of masculinity Picture Quote #1

I do think that there is a real crisis of masculinity that’s happening in America. I think the problem is - the way it’s being framed is that there’s a problem with masculinity because women are too powerful, or women are taking up too much space Picture Quote #1

The Western is as American as a film can get - there’s the discovery of a frontier, the element of a showdown, revenge, and determining the best gunman. There’s a certain masculinity to the Western that really appealed to me, and I’ve always wanted to do a Western in Hollywood Picture Quote #1

If a guy is intimidated by a woman in leadership, he has real problems with his own concepts of masculinity. That’s a harsh statement, but I believe it to be true Picture Quote #1

Being pretty... I’m just confused about it. I mean, I love getting my nails done, but I also like dressing like a boy. I think I feel most myself when I’m mixing femininity and masculinity. Like, fifty-fifty Picture Quote #1

We need to stop raising boys to think that they need to prove their masculinity by being controlling or by not showing emotion or by not being little girls Picture Quote #1

Elite athletes learn entitlement. They believe they are entitled to have women serve their needs. It’s part of being a man. It’s the cultural construction of masculinity Picture Quote #1

At the heart of the matter of masculine excess is a great longing for the love and approval of a father, a man who can tell another man that his masculinity is splendid enough and he can now relax Picture Quote #1

So much of Hollywood is this kind of overly machismo, nonsensical view of masculinity, which I just don’t find honest. I think it’s this idea of - you know, we’re told, well, ‘Be a man, be a man.’ But what does that mean, exactly? Does that mean you can’t carry yourself with any fear? That you can’t acknowledge that you’re scared? Picture Quote #1

Baseball always gets credit for the foundational part of masculinity - the father thing. The eternal game of backyard catch, ‘Field of Dreams’, the Ripkens, the Griffeys, the Bondses, so on. But football is the real paternal game, because it’s a conveyor belt of father figures, in the form of coaches Picture Quote #1

My whole life long I have done nothing but interpret my dreams of ultimate masculinity, and draw them Picture Quote #1

Toxic masculinity hurts men, but there’s a big difference between women dealing with the constant threat of being raped, beaten, and killed by the men in their lives, and men not being able to cry Picture Quote #1

Well, you know what? If that guy can do it, I can be myself too, and if that rapper can be himself and be free and be happy and still hold masculinity and love people and love flowers and just be happy being alive, well then, I can do that too Picture Quote #1

Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor Picture Quote #1

Masculinity is part of a binary and requires its opposite, since, in the absence of femininity, masculinity would have no meaning Picture Quote #1

Radical feminist theorists do not seek to make gender a bit more flexible, but to eliminate it. They are gender abolitionists, and understand gender to provide the framework and rationale for male dominance. In the radical feminist approach, masculinity is the behaviour of the male ruling class and femininity is the behaviour of the subordinate class of women. Thus gender can have no place in the egalitarian future that feminism aims to create Picture Quote #1

Masculinity cannot exist without femininity. On its own, masculinity has no meaning, because it is but one half of a set of power relations. Masculinity pertains to male dominance as femininity pertains to female subordination Picture Quote #1

The hardest part has been learning how to take myself seriously when the entire world is constantly telling me that femininity is always inferior to masculinity Picture Quote #1

Relieved of moral pretense and stripped of folk costumes, the raw masculinity that all men know in their gut has to do with being good at being a man within a small, embattled gang of men struggling to survive Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked in pubs for years and you get people challenging you. Challenging your masculinity Picture Quote #1

Men as well as women, must strive for a balance of experience. Masculinity, defined as requiring the ability to act physically or mentally but excluding anything too emotional or nurturing, currently denies men this balance. Their ability to care is seen as inappropriate for everyday use, and a lack of desire for power or promotion are seen as signs of inadequacy Picture Quote #1

Thus, gender ideology no only creates ides about femininity but it also shapes conceptions of masculinity Picture Quote #1

Surely women’s liberation is a most unpromising panacea. But the movement is working politically, because our sexuality is so confused, our masculinity so uncertain, and our families so beleaguered that no one knows what they are for or how they are sustained Picture Quote #1

Unlike femininity, relaxed masculinity is at bottom empty, a limp nullity. While the female body is full of internal potentiality, the male is internally barren. Manhood at the most basic level can be validated and expressed only in action Picture Quote #1

As boys without bonds to their fathers grow older and more desperate about their masculinity, they are in danger of forming gangs in which they strut their masculinity for one another, often overdo it, and sometimes turn to displays of fierce, macho bravado and even violence Picture Quote #1

A transvestite spends her entire life trying to look as feminine as possible and I have clearly spent mine celebrating my masculinity Picture Quote #1

Boxing is a celebration of the lost religion of masculinity all the more trenchant for its being lost Picture Quote #1
