“Girls are like house pets. Trained young and ruthlessly into pleasing people. At first it's parents, but very quickly it becomes boys. Men. Boys and men. Sit pretty. Don't talk too loudly. Eat nicely. Please. Please. Please people. You are there for first your family, then the world. It's a mother's job to bring a girl into the family, and then to prepare her for the world. If the training worked, little girls want men.”
