Much male fear of feminism is the fear that, in becoming whole human beings, women will cease to mother men, to provide the breast, the lullaby, the continuous attention associated by the infant with the mother. Much male fear of feminism is infantilism–the longing to remain the mother’s son, to possess a woman who exists purely for him. ✨ Adrienne Rich (1995). On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose 1966-1978, p.123, W. W. Norton & Company
