“Primates – and young humans who lack verbal skills – will use physical aggression to express themselves or to get their way. They will hit, push, shove, spit, kick, punch, and bite. As children grow, they add verbal aggression to their repertoire. They will shout and threaten. As children develop further and gain more social intelligence, they begin to employ indirect and nonphysical forms of aggression. From an evolutionary and anatomical point of view, girls and women are less inclined to attack anyone directly, or physically, than man and boys are – unless, as mothers, their offspring are in immediate physical danger. In addition, girls and women are culturally trained to employ indirect methods of aggression, as a low-risk, low-injury, approach.
Girls learn that a safe way to attack someone else is behind her back, so that she will not know who is responsible. This tracks girls and women into lives of chronic gossip and rumor mongering, but it also allows girls and women to fight without physically killing each other outright.”

“Psychologically, enviers wish to be the one God loves most, the Chosen One, the one whose being radiates excellence. Many women wish to star in this role, and many do. The male universe has room for many more stars; the female universe is therefore much smaller, and the competition quite fierce for the limited number of starring roles.”

“Малко противоположности в образованието са толкова силни и значими, както тази между отправянето на изисквания към учениците и инструктирането им какво могат и не могат да вършат, от една страна, и задружното, самостоятелно търсене от страна на учениците на начина да живеят и учат заедно, от друга. Говорим за разлика между това да си подготвен да прекараш живота си, правейки каквото ти казват, и да си подготвен да поемаш активна роля в демократичното общество (или, в зависимост от случая, да трансформираш обществото, така че да го превърнеш в демократично.)”

“Но още през следващото лято споменът за голямото наводнение почна да минава в паметта на старите хора, дето щеше да живее още дълго, а младежите седяха с песни и разговори на бялата гладка капия над водата, която течеше дълбоко под тях и със своя шум допълваше песента им. Забравата лекува всичко, а песента е най-добрият начин за забрава, защото в нея човек си спомня само онова, което обича.
Така на капията, между небето и земята, реката и бърдата, поколение след поколение се учеше да не тъжи прекомерно по онова, което мътната вода отнася. Тук у тях проникваше несъзнателната философия на градчето; че животът е неразбираемо чудо, защото непрестанно се изразходва и разхищава, но все пак трае и се държи здраво „както мостът на Дрина“.”

“According to Brown and Gilligan, by the third grade,
expressing a "different" view among girls has already become "too dangerous and risky." A pre-adolescent girl is sometimes willing to speak more directly when only one other girl is present; this changes when a third girl joins them. However, even as girls are learning how to be indirect and nice, they continue
to judge one another. Girls are concerned about who is a true friend and who is only faking it. A girl risks losing her entire social world if she dares to think for herself or if she refuses to back her best friend or her clique even when she thinks they are in the wrong.”
