Clementine Ford

“Let's be clear about what is and isn't harmful to boys. Having faith in oneself is an important part of self-esteem. Having faith that one is never wrong and indeed that one's masculine status gives them license to test that theory every day leads to harm being done to others and a failure of the self to progress beyond a crude ego. There's a pretty big fucking difference, and it's doing no one any good to let it continue unchecked.”
