Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves.
JOHN BERGER
Ways of Seeing
Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.

ANITA BROOKNER
A Friend from England
All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
The Glass Menagerie
When women take off their corsets and heighten their skirts it always means high inflation and low morals.
JAMES LAVER
attributed, Sûrya India, vol. 12
Most women desire someone who makes them laugh and also feel safe, so basically a clown ninja.
