No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.

Quote by Simone de Beauvoir about man

There can be no peace if our security depends on the will and whims of a ruthless and aggressive dictator. I'm not willing to stake one American life on trusting Saddam Hussein.
