You act at being a man, and before you know it, you are one.

What's the point of being a lesbian if a woman is going to look and act like an imitation man?

I have no objection to a man being a man, however masculine that may be.

Acting is just being a man. Being human. Not forcing it.

You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.

It's not about who you sleep with, or whether you know about sports or tools or have a pearl-wearing wife or whether commercials make you cry. [...] it's about whether you step up. When something hard comes along. A man steps up. He doesn't dodge it or run away from it or try to push it onto someone else. He steps up. Even if it isn't his responsibility. And that's why there are so many guys and so few men. Because stepping up is hard.
