everything you ever thought about love was a lie

'Much of the discussion of mothering and the distinctively female tends to avoid discussing women's anger and aggression -- how we internalize them and express them, for example, in relation to children or our own internal selves. Perhaps women are not any less aggressive than men; we may just express our aggression in different, culturally sanctioned (and partially disguised or denied) ways.' [Jane Flax.]
