“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being”
“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke . . . She will need her sisterhood.”
“No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes that she were not.”
“She is a woman, how can you confuse her for a man?”
“But parents, she supposed, were not the pinnacle of perfection their children thought or expected them to be. They were humans who usually did the best they could but often made the wrong choices.”
“It figured that the one man that treated her like a woman was the one that made her wish she was a man so that she could kick his ass.”
