About This Quote

Sometimes the waitresses at a restaurant look as though they were prostitutes who, after years of being out of work, have finally found a way to support themselves through their profession. The women have a hard time being viewed as anything but objects. Men, in particular, aren't always the most kind and sensitive people. They may look at a woman as a piece of meat to be consumed rather than as a person. It is necessary that everyone knows that this is not the case.
