“Men reveal what they think when they look away, and what they feel when they hesitate. With women, it's the other way around”

“I hesitated. Karla once said that men reveal what they think when they look away, and what they feel when they hesitate. With women, she said, it's the other way around.”

“What are other women really thinking, feeling, experiencing, when they slip away from the gaze and culture of men?”
