Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on men

The problem with gender, is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are.

Masculinity is a hard, small cage, and we put boys inside this cage.

Show a people as one thing, only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
