December, 2006 quote: 
"...Calling me a 'stronger feminist than most women' is inaccurate and very 
unfair to them.  Apples and oranges, basically.White adult heterosexual men 
like myself are allowed to safely sidestep both the experience of oppression 
and the grueling work of daily resistance.  Yet, when a man chooses to 
publish a secondhand account of gender injustice and violence, he gets 
automatic applause and is held up as an icon of men's morality... When 
women.attempt to speak of their experience and struggle firsthand, they are 
demonized or at least, systematically censored.  Isn't that horribly unfair?"
- Martin Dufresne, Montreal Men Against Sexism
