Margaret Atwood Quote

What's with her? says the painter. She's mad because she's a woman, Jon says. This is something I haven't heard for years, not since high school. Once it was a shaming thing to say, and crushing to have it said about you, by a man. It implied oddness, deformity, sexual malfunction. I go to the living room doorway. I'm not mad because I'm a woman, I say. I'm mad because you're an asshole.
