Let's open right away with everyone's favorite: The Grandiose Generalization.
I think the single greatest threat, and I’ll say to humanity, at the moment is male fragility, and men just not being able to process their feelings of insecurity, their feelings of anger. I mean, when men get mad, they lash out.
You see it in school shootings. You see it in terrorist activity.
Most of the solutions to problems, I think, are simple. You know, like kindness and empathy: The basic things that your mother teaches you. But I think if men could be more honest and reflective about what them feel insecure.
Salon: Is male fragility to blame for Charlottesville violence?
Zen Yogi: she thinks she talks to humanity
She can think whatever she likes, Zen Yogi, but humanity probably isn't listening. Doctor Phil may have finished it for chick psychology since he was such a slut he probably sucked pop psychology dry.
Note: high five on the creative use of commas in the first sentence since that one is a fucking masterpiece.

What they were chanting in Charlottesville: ‘You will not replace us.’ Who is trying? Who is trying to replace you? We’re just trying to make things more of an equal playing field for everyone.
I think it’s just the way that society raises them. Women are raised to have some concern about the way that they look, and they’re encouraged to be more sensitive. A lot of men aren’t.

Zen Yogi: without Grandiose Generalizations she probably would not sell many books
When you write a book which makes the readers feel like saints and they don't have to do anything to get that way, you can't go wrong. Show me the money.
And it’s that performance thing, too. Men perform for other men. When you get men alone in a group, it’s always very different than when you get a man one on one. There’s definitely, like the performance of manliness.
It’s also like the scariest thing, for anyone probably. For being a woman, for being somebody who’s gay, for being somebody who’s Muslim, to walk down the street and there’s a pack of guys, because it’s just, you know, the performance of masculinity can be so dangerous.
Even talking about this….Men get so mad when they hear women talk about them this way. They get so defensive.

Zen Yogi: it doesn't sound like she knows too many men, Silas
It's sounding like there's a whole lot more than that she doesn't know.
Zen Yogi: is this the defensive part?
Nah, this is the part to roll I spliff while I consider whether there's anything interesting about such a remarkably unprepossessing woman. Did you ever notice how the ones who get the most rabid this way look like they just came out of health food stores (i.e. pale and anemic).
Zen Yogi: I'm a brown bear, Yogi. Everyone looks anemic ... except when they have pic-a-nic baskets.
Well, there's your inborn bear male rage driving you to steal pic-a-nic baskets, see.
Zen Yogi: actually I just like KFC chicken, Silas. Is that close enough to rage?
I guess the chicken is probably kind of pissed but he doesn't get to vote.
