“In negotiating with rejected lovers or husbands, women must stop thinking they can make everyone happy. In many cases of harassment and stalking, it is clear that the woman never learned how to terminate the fantasy which requires resolution and decisiveness on their part. Wavering, dithering, or passive hysterical fear will only intensify or prolong pursuit.” ThinkingCasesFantasyClearLoversHusbandPursuitResolutionPassiveRejectedStalkingHarassmentHystericalNegotiatingWaveringDecisiveness Book:Vamps & Tramps: New Essays Source: Vamps & Tramps: New Essays
“Men often joke about this assignment (I Peter 3:7): 'Who can understand a woman?' God has answered the question loud and clear. You can. You can understand a woman.
