Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Quote

But by far the worst thing we do to males—by making them feel they have to be hard—is that we leave them with fragile egos. The a man feels compelled to be, the weaker his ego is. And then we do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males. We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller.
