And so, it makes perfect sense to me that the current order of things would encourage the catfights and encourage the comparisons and encourage the girl-on-girl hate that you see just being promoted everywhere.” ~ Amanda Palmer

In contrast to other primates these bonds are not obliterated after sexual maturity.” ~ Louise J. Kaplan
