Oscar WildeWomen defend themselves by attacking, just as they attack by sudden and strange surrenders.
About This Quote
Men believe that women are weak and therefore incapable of being strong. Therefore, they see women as being weak and as victims of their own weakness. This, however, is a false belief. Women use the same strategies as men to be successful in life.
In order to defeat a man, a woman must first be able to defeat herself. That’s why many women use self-defeating strategies to defeat men, such as a fake or feigned interest in a man or a desire to be with a man that does not exist. Once the man has been psychologically defeated by a woman, he becomes confused and unsure of what he should do next.
