Universal manhood suffrage, by establishing an aristocracy of sex, imposes upon the women of this nation a more absolute and cruel despotism than monarchy; in that, woman finds a political master in her father, husband, brother, son. The aristocracies of the old world are based upon birth, wealth, refinement, education, nobility, brave deeds of chivalry; in this nation, on sex alone; exalting brute force above moral power, vice above virtue, ignorance above education, and the son above the mother who bore him.From the Association

Man is the one who desires, woman the one who is desired. This is woman's entire but decisive advantage.

Leopold Von SacherMasoch
Men should be saying I want to become a woman. The world would be a far better place if more men wanted to become women, than women wanted to become men.
