"Working at King Henry's, and later at St Oswald's, I had always had to be tough on myself, and gentle on men. Men are so very fragile, Roy; so unused to being challenged."

-Joanne Harris, A Narrow Door (Malbry, #3)

"I was surprised. It's not often that a woman receives an apology from a man, especially not in such circumstances. I am far more used to being told: You need to learn to take a joke, or; Why must you be so sensitive? Little girls are taught the lesson almost from the cradle. Boys will be boys. It's a man's world. It's because he likes you."
