" When men speak of love, when they profess it in so many ways, we listen.  Even when we do not love, we are loath to hurt you, even when we are disgusted, we hide our aversion, we do not say bluntly “We do not love you.”  Instead, we often put on a very good show of loving, and if at some point, the mask slips,  the men cry out “You have betrayed me!”  and everyone listens, everyone sympathizes.  "
