About This Quote
This is a rather cruel and somewhat sexist quote. The idea of a woman so isolated and frustrated that she reaches boiling point and explodes is not a pleasant one. However, it is not unreasonable to assume that such frustration could lead to such an explosion. Some women become so sensitive and frustrated that they lash out at those around them, often unfairly. Angry words and heated arguments are almost always the result of an underlying frustration.
