“ for seducing all girls is the male equivalent of the woman’s letting herself be seduced once with all her soul and now hating, or if you will, loving her seducer with an energy no spouse possesses. This is how she confronts him, she does not lack the courage to dare to have at him, she does not fight for moral principles, she fights for her love, a love she does not base upon respect ”
 Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or (1843). copy citation
