Why is it men or whoever, some poor bastard, some queen, can't be sensitive, too, if he's got a mind to? –I don't know, but sometimes that kind of behavior can get in a man's way.– When? When it comes to torturing?”– No, when it comes to being finished with the torturers.”– But if men acted like women there wouldn't be anymore torturers. Manuel Puig
