It is sad to see a woman sacrificing the ties of the affections even to do good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women should take care of each other, not tear each other down.
In many ways, that affection is the real reward for 56 years in the business. Although the money ain't exactly bad either.
Our culture encourages women to nurture men, making it predictable that many experience a seductive empathy for abusive men, as well as the misguided hope that love can obliterate an ugly past.
We can't shame women for trying to be beautiful. That's so mean and unfair. But there's a part of me that thinks it's really sad, too. It's very complicated.
No matter what else they're doing, women are also always nurturing.
Women in love are less ashamed than men. They have less to be ashamed of.
I am very sad for men and women trapped in any relationship where there is cruelty, dominance, inequity. I long for the liberation of all people.
You know full well as I do the value of sisters' affections: There is nothing like it in this world.
This is the fantasy of every woman - to hold at our feet servile and tame slaves, like in Roman times. And the worse we treat them, the more passionate they become.
I foster a sorrowful conception of affection. Make no sacrifices.
