Wrecking Ball
Quotes from the Book
Team Jacob, eh?” Say this to a man with a wolf tattoo.
The patriarchy puts women in a box. and then it puts men in their own box on top of that one. And on some level, men think that qualifies as a win. But at the end of the day, everyone's still trapped in a box. We men are all trapped here together. With our anger, our egos, and maybe a goose or two.
Are you guys watching men’s basketball?” In fact, start calling all sports “men’s” sports. Baseball, football, hockey, boxing, whatever.
Is the big spoon the winner?” Say this to a man who is watching MMA.
Oh, so it’s kind of like The Bachelor?” Say this to a man who is trying to explain the NFL draft.
Letting a man explain something to you is not unlike letting him have sex with you. I’d even argue that it’s a toss-up which activity they enjoy more.
Anger never shows up first, It fllows on the heel of fear, hurt, or loss. Anger is blood from awound. Men love to talk about the blood and never the wound.
Anger is blood from a wound. Men love to talk about the blood and never the wound. Are you enriching someone’s life
Women want to feel loved, and men want to feel important.
Is this a Nifty?' Say this in reference to an NFT. Bonus points if you can convince him that it's basically a Neopet that launders money.
It's that fear of [men] losing their privilege that inspires the anger. Only in following the anger can we interrogate the structure.
One thing at a time, guys. I’m not a miracle worker; I’m a collection of thirty rats operating a person suit via tiny levers and pulleys.
I am a Virgo. If you hadn’t suspected that on some level
Did I wirte this book so that women could learn to bully men? No. Did I write this book because I hate men? No. Iwrote this book because I think it's time for men to take our cultural medicine. To let our anger inform us of our hurt and finally heal from it.
It floors me to see a man remember to be kind, even when he's forgotten everything else.
Men want to feel important. I'd aventure to say that many -if not all- of the darkest chapters in history can be attributed to the male quest for importance. Why start a war? Because war is important.!
Anger never shows up first. It follows on the heels of fear, hurt, or loss. Anger is blood from a wound. Men love to talk about the blood but never the wound.
