iconic from start to finish…I love these closing lines and they testify to such charisma and verve:
”It’s not particularly noble to be quiet and behave…People bristle at the idea of a woman doing what she wants, especially if it’s at the expense of a man’s ego. To that I say, come a little closer and see if I bite.”
I'm still thinking about this days later. and just the idea that so much of my "bitchy" behavior can be attributed to a strong sense of self and having the temerity to stand behind my own convictions (ie not letting people get away with talking to me in certain ways, loudly and induglently voicing my opinion even when it's unpopular or in contradiction with the person in front of me). I always get the feeling people just want me to say the easiest, most obvious, most path-of-least-resistance platitudes and they're unsettled when I can't manage that. I'm not an agreement machine!
