Jon Krakauer Quote
It was actually pretty common for women not to scream or call the cops in rape cases I prosecuted, Roe said, at least partly because women aren’t wired to react that way. We are socialized to be likeable and not to create friction. We are brought up to be nice. Women are supposed to resolve problems without making a scene—to make bad things go away as if they never happened.
