1. EKKI VERA „FEMÍNÍSKUR” HRÆSNARI
„The first thing you have to do is check yourself and figure out what kinds of macho behavior you're spreading with women around you: Are you one of those guys who says that they "help" at home? Talk to your partner and start doing 50% of the house chores.”
2. HLUSTAÐU

3. ÞEGIÐU
„Would you tell an oncologist your opinions about cancer?... we already know that not all men are like that, but if you care more about proving that you're not like those other men than you do about truly listening to and understanding our thoughts and opinions on the matter... well then, you're not much different from the rest anyway.”
4. FRONTAÐU FÉLAGA ÞÍNA
„The one who makes a woman feel uncomfortable at the bar when she's clearly having a good time with her friends, the one who says his boss "just needs to be fucked," or the ones who make small (haha), very inoffensive (hehe) jokes (HA FREAKING HA) about assaulting women.”
5. NÝTTU FORRÉTTINDI ÞÍN TIL GÓÐS
„like pointing out sexist attitudes to other men and getting on the side of the woman”
6. HÆTTU AÐ DÆMA KONUR

7. VERTU SJÁLFSGAGNRÝNINN
„We all have sexist attitudes. Checking oneself for these attitudes is a constant task within feminism, but hey, maybe if you're finding it challenging or difficult, it's because you're learning."
8. EKKI LÍTILLÆKKA REYNSLUHEIM KVENNA
„No matter how hard you try to put yourself in our place, you'll never be able to experience what women experience on a daily basis.”

11. NOTAÐU GOOGLE, EKKI EINA FEMÍNÍSKA VIN ÞINN
„It's an interesting topic of conversation, don't get me wrong, and seeing you take an interest in feminism is great. But seriously, if you don't understand why it's not called "egalitarianism," go to Google. If you want to understand feminist waves, go to Google. If you don't understand why a compliment can be considered offensive, you can also search it on Google.“
