Favorite Quote

Feminists are not out to get us. They're out to get the patriarchy. They don't hate men, they hate The Man. They're our mates. The patriarchy was created for the convenience of men, but it comes at a heavy cost to ourselves and everyone else.

Robert Webb

Introduction

When discussing gender equality, we often talk about creating an environment where women and girls can be safe from violence and harm.

We rarely consider how gender stereotypes and societal expectations harm men and boys.

Robert Webb is a British comedian, actor, and author, best known as half of the comedic duo Mitchell and Webb.

Webb played one of the leading roles in the award-winning sitcom Peep Show and is a regular on British panel shows.

Webb's 2017 memoir How Not to Be A Boy focuses on masculinity, patriarchy, and how he was affected by the confines of society's expectations throughout his life.
