Wounded Men

Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or men:

    There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole
    There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sinsick soul.
    —African-American hymn-writer. “There Is a Balm in Gilead,” l. 1-2.

    As long as the “woman’s work” that some men do is socially devalued, as long as it is defined as woman’s work, as long as it’s tacked onto a “regular” work day, men who share it are likely to develop the same jagged mouth and frazzled hair as the coffee-mug mom. The image of the new man is like the image of the supermom: it obscures the strain.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
