Conversation between a princess and an outlaw: If I stand for fairy-tale balls and dragon bait--dragon bait--what do you stand for?Me? I stand for uncertainty, insecurity, bad taste, fun, and things that go boom in the night.Franky, it seems to me that you've turned yourself into a stereotype.You may be right. I don't care. As any car freak will tell you, the old models are the most beautiful, even if they aren't the most efficient. People who sacrifice beauty for efficiency get what they deserve.Well, you may get off on being a beautiful stereotype, regardless of the social consequences, but my conscience won't allow it. And I goddamn refuse to be dragon bait. I'm as capable of rescuing you as you are of rescuing me.I'm an outlaw, not a hero. I never intended to rescue you. We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves.

However when it came to the issue of gender they were as sexist as their conservative cohorts.

~ Bell Hooks

We men are very simple people: if we like what we see, we’re coming over there. If we don’t want anything from you, we’re not coming over there. Period. Please highlight this part right here so you can always remind yourself the next time a man steps to you: a man always wants something. Always. And when it comes to women, that plan is always to find out two things: (1) if you’re willing to sleep with him, and (2) if you are, how much it will cost to get you to sleep with him.

~ Steve Harvey
