"Part of me
loves and respects
men
so desperately,
and part of me thinks
they are so embarrassingly
incompetent at life
and
in love.

You have to
teach them
the very basics of
emotional literacy.
You have to teach them
how to be there for you,
and
part of me feels
tender toward them
and
gentle,
and
part of me
is so afraid of them,
afraid of any more
violation."


Anne Lamott
