In our struggle to restrain the violence and contain the damage, we tend to forget that the human capacity for aggression is more than a monstrous defect, that it is also a crucial survival tool.
Katherine Dunn
This idea that males are physically aggressive and females are not has distinct drawbacks for both sexes.
Katherine Dunn
