Quote by Theodor Reik
In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women.
Summary
This quote suggests that in our society, both men and women experience fear and insecurity concerning their gender identities. Men worry about not meeting societal expectations and being perceived as inadequate in their masculinity, while women fear being limited solely to their feminine traits and being undermined in comparison to men. This highlights the pressure and societal norms that exist around gender roles, which can lead to anxieties and limitations for individuals in fully expressing themselves.
