• It bothers them that instead of taking on the role of abandoned lover, I have become a happy wife. They relish seeing strong women like you and me humiliated. They cannot forgive us that we triumphed where so many others fail...Courage is a virtue appreciated in a male but considered a defect in our gender.

While boys must be constantly monitored and are always the first suspects when anything goes wrong, everyone expects girls to do what they're told.

It's amazing what you can get away with when no one bothers watching.
