A wedding is such a girl thing.

Selma Blair
A wedding is such a girl thing.

Maria Goeppert Mayer

Erin Morgenstern The Night Circus
He reads histories and mythologies and fairy tales, wondering why it seems that only girls are ever swept away from their mundane lives on farms by knights or princes or wolves. It strikes him as unfair to not have the same fanciful opportunity himself. And he is not in the position to do any rescuing of his own. During the hours spent watching the sheep as they wander aimlessly around their fields, he even wishes that someone would come and take him away, but wishes on sheep appear to work better than wishes on stars.

Jack Donovan The Way of Men
When men evaluate each other as men, they still look for the same virtues that they'd need to keep the perimeter. Men respond to and admire the qualities that would make men useful and dependable in an emergency. Men have always had a role apart, and they still judge one another according to the demands of that role as a guardian in a gang struggling for survival against encroaching doom. Everything that is specifically about being a man - not merely a person - has to do with that role

I strike fear into you because I am a man?" "It isn't funny." "I do not laugh. It is a sad thing, yes, that your husband is a man. A very terrible thing.

Catherine Anderson Comanche Moon
I strike fear into you because I am a man?" "It isn't funny." "I do not laugh. It is a sad thing, yes, that your husband is a man. A very terrible thing.

All over the world, there are so many magazine articles and books telling women what to do, how to be and not to be, in order to attract or please these men. There are far fewer guides for men about pleasing women.

I am telling you that the child will not out live the buildings. Do you understand that whereas women may touch the immortal by giving birth, men - great men - must build monuments and seek fame?

Karen Essex Stealing Athena
I am telling you that the child will not out live the buildings. Do you understand that whereas women may touch the immortal by giving birth, men - great men - must build monuments and seek fame?

"I suppose," he said, his voice harsher than he had intended it to be, "you want marriage again." "No," she said quickly. "No, never that. Not again. Why would any woman willingly make herself the...

Mary Balogh Indiscreet
"I suppose," he said, his voice harsher than he had intended it to be, "you want marriage again." "No," she said quickly. "No, never that. Not again. Why would any woman willingly make herself the property of a man and suffer all the humiliation of submerging her character and her very identity in his?"

Driving like a man is one of her few foibles.

Elizabeth Wein The Pearl Thief
Driving like a man is one of her few foibles.

Isabel Allende Paula
In all social classes except the most privileged, abnegation and hard work are considered the supreme female virtues; a spirit of sacrifice is a question of honor: the more one suffers for family, the prouder one feels. Women are used to thinking of their mate as a foolish child whose every serious fault, from drunkenness to domestic violence, they forgive . . . because he's a man.

Gillian Flynn Gone Girl
TV goes to a commercial for air freshener. A woman is spraying air freshener so her family will be happy.
