"Culture does not make people. People make culture."
"Gender and class are different. Poor men still have the privileges of being men, even if they do not have the privileges of being wealthy."
"Boys and girls are undeniably different biologically, but socialization exaggerates the differences, and then starts a self-fulfilling process."
"We are all social beings. We internalize ideas from our socialization. Even the language we use illustrates this. The language of marriage is often a language of ownership, not a language of partnership."
"A Nigerian acquaintance once asked me if I was worried that men would be intimidated by me. I was not worried at all – it had not even occurred to me to be worried, because a man who would be intimidated by me is exactly the kind of man I would have no interest in."
