Posted by PJ under conditioning, quote of the day, women
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“This early training to ‘be nice’ causes women to override their intuitions. In that sense, they are actually purposefully taught to submit to the predator. Imagine a wolf mother teaching her young to ‘be nice’ in the face of an angry ferret or a wily diamondback rattler.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves
