Richard Fish

On sex and sexual harrassment, women don’t see straight. Women as a rule hate other pretty women. Women as a rule also sympathize with other women victims because they are women. Women want other women to be destroyed, but as women they don’t want to be the destroyer themselves.

— Ally McBeal ‧ 1997

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker gives conflicting hostile generalisations about women, attraction and victimhood. These are prejudiced judgments, not facts about women or guidance about harassment. Readable archive spelling remains.
