    • 2000, Herb Goldberg, The Hazards of Being Male: Surviving the Myth of Masculine Privilege, page 17:
      Precisely because the tenor and mood of the male liberation efforts so far have been one of self-accusation, self-hate, and a repetition of feminist assertions, I believe it is doomed to failure in its present form.
