Summary

Hal Annas,  Man-Trap (1953)

“ He tossed off the balance of the drink, set the glass on the table and made a sweeping gesture. "They're all alike," he said brutally. "Fickle and treacherous. Deceivers. Always flinging their sex around."
"Not all women," she countered. "Take this Professor Madigan who discovered that new adhesion force."
"A woman?"
"Of course. Professor Madigan is a scholarly young woman. Her sex appeal might not win a beauty contest, but she discovered a perfectly wonderful man-catcher."

Hal Annas,  Man-Trap (1953)

“ I'll even speak to you occasionally, if you wish, but that's as far as I'll go in neighborliness."
"Thanks," she said. "You're more than kind. But I shan't trouble you. I've just become a man-hater."
Kerran turned to go. Halfway across the corridor he felt something tug at him. It was a steady and increasingly powerful pull, forcing him into the girl's apartment. He lost his balance, reeled through the doorway, came to a halt against the table, noticed that the force still drew him toward the girl on the far side of the table.
