“What do you think it does to future men when you teach boys that being weak is being a pussy? Pussy meaning female, obviously. Or yelling at men who are doing poorly that they’re being girls? Or ladies? Had enough, ladies?” I squinted one eye at him. It was all my brain could muster for a glare. “Men are teaching boys that they are equivalent to ladies, to girls, when they’re at their worst. At their absolute weakest. And you wonder why we’re from different planets? You wonder why men so often disrespect women?”

“Funny thing is when you’re young and vulnerable, you should have two people you can trust: your parents. They are the people you’re supposed to rely on, the people who are supposed to shelter you from the relentless storm we call the world. But when one of them destroys every aspect of your childhood, it’s hard to trust anyone else. It’s hard to let people in when your heart has been hardened to the outside world. Why would you? Why would you make yourself so vulnerable again?”
