“Brittle masculinity, in the right setting, becomes political atrocity....” — Timothy D. Snyder Quote

“Brittle masculinity, in the right setting, becomes political atrocity. Strength brings problems; weakness brings others, but weakness posing as strength is the most dangerous of all.”

“I thought I was going to grow up and become a diplomat and negotiate nuclear arms.”

“I think, whatever ideological coloration we think actually applies to Trump, we can be pretty confident that he sees the American state as a mechanism to make sure that people called Trump are rich forever.”

“All I can do is seek the information that'll make me stronger, that'll help me overcome my toxic masculinity, my male privilege, because that's something you never think about. You don't think about other people.”

“For me, I think there is no absolute standard on masculinity.”

“I think we've got a very two-dimensional view of what masculinity is, of what strength is, what a guy needs to do.”
