Fannie Flagg Quotes
What Was This Power, This Insidious Threat, This Invisible Gun To Her Head That Controlled Her Life ... This Terror Of Being Called Names?
She Had Stayed A Virgin So She Wouldn't Be Called A Tramp Or A Slut; Had Married So She Wouldn't Be Called An Old Maid; Faked Orgasms So She Wouldn't Be Called Frigid; Had Children So She Wouldn't Be Called Barren; Had Not Been A Feminist Because She Didn't Want To Be Called Queer And A Man Hater; Never Nagged Or Raised Her Voice So She Wouldn't Be Called A Bitch ...
She Had Done All That And Yet, Still, This Stranger Had Dragged Her Into The Gutter With The Names That Men Call Women When They Are Angry.
