"How utterly detestable mannishness is ; so mighty and strong and comforting when you have been mewed up with women all your life, and then suddenly, in a second, far away, utterly imbecile and aggravating with a superior self-satisfied smile because a woman says one thing one minute and another the next. Men ought to be horsewhipped, all the grown men, all who have ever had that self-satisfied smile, all, all, horsewhipped until they apologise on their knees."

Don't hold back, Miriam. Tell us what you really think.
(From Honeycomb, chapter-volume 3 of Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage)
