Miya Yamanouchi Quotes

• “Don't let society fool you into believing that if you don't have a girlfriend or boyfriend then you're destined for a life of misery.

• “To every guy who tries to say that we have already achieved equality for the sexes, if this were true, you wouldn't be told to "man up", "be a man", "stop being a p*#%y", "harden the fuck up", "toughen up", "boys don't cry", "don't be such a girl", "stop being a wimp". As long as this type of language still exists in our society, then gender equality, my friends, has in fact not been achieved after all.”
