Phyllis Chesler Quotes

Before I Began Research For This Book I Was Not Consciously Aware That Women Were Aggressive In Indirect Ways, That They Gossiped And Ostracized Each Other Incessantly, And Did Not Acknowledge Their Own Envious And Competitive Feelings. I Now Understand That, In Order To Survive As A Woman, Among Women, One Must Speak Carefully, Cautiously, Neutrally, Indirectly; One Must Pay Careful Attention To What More Socially Powerful Women Have To Say Before One Speaks; One Must Learn How To Flatter, Manipulate, Aree With, And Appease Them. And, If One Is Hurt Or Offended By Another Woman, One Does Not Say So Outright; One Expresses It Indirectly, By Turning Others Against Her.
Of Course, I Refuse To Learn These "girlish" Lessons.
