Naomi Wolf Quote
What I saw as the negative effect on women’s minds of such mundane tracking activities as calorie counting, I had sensed that the reason so many tasks women are expected to do in society involve this kind of thinking (e.g. scanning, list making, judging themselves critically, measuring up) had something to do with the suppressive effect this kind of thinking has on other, bolder kinds of intellectual or emotional leaps.
