About This Quote
This quote is taken from a letter that was written by the great William Shakespeare, in which he said, “I am grieved for my children—and boy’s in particular—that this modern age is emasculating men under the guise of “the best interest of the children.” This statement is extremely powerful because it goes against everything that our society has taught us. It goes against the idea that men are inferior to women, that they are weak and unable to live without male protection. This quote demonstrates that Shakespeare did not believe that men had no value in life.
