"A rejection of the way a woman speaks is often a way of blaming or dismissing her without dealing with the content of what she is saying."

But we are so fond of life that we have no leisure to entertain the terror of death. It is a honeymoon with us all through, and none of the longest. Small blame to us if we give our whole hearts to this glowing bride of ours, to the appetities, to honour, to the hungry curiosity of the mind, to the pleasure of the eyes in nature, and the pride of our own nimble bodies.

— Robert Louis Stevenson
