A quote:

"[...] women are separated from one another by the societal insistence that to be valued a woman must be 'with' a man, significantly minimizing her intimate contact with other women and encouraging her to devalue what contact she does have with women."  --  "The Wilderness of Intimacy," Fugitive Information: Essays from a Feminist Hothead, Kay Leigh Hagan

A conversation:

"Don't believe everything you read in that book."

"I don't believe everything I read in any book."

"Good, because some people do, and they become outcast and scorned."

A question:

Isn't it a good thing to be cast out of a society that fears, loathes, isolates and cripples you?  So you're not allowed to participate in an abusive relationship with yourself or your society:  Good!
