"Women:
I liked the colors of their clothing; the way they walked; the cruelty
in some faces; now and then the almost pure beauty in another face,
totally and enchantingly female. They had it over us: they planned much
better and were better organized. While men were watching professional
football or drinking beer or bowling, they, the women, were thinking
about us, concentrating, studying, deciding - whether to accept us,
discard us, exchange us, kill us or whether simply to leave us."
Charles Bukowski “Women”
