About This Quote
This quote is about how difficult it can be for a woman to express her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs. Women are often told that they should not say things like "I love you" or "I miss you." This is often because men do not want to hear the word love said in this way. They think that women might use this kind of language in order to get something from men without actually meaning what they say.
