Rita Mae Brown:

We still haven't reached the point where we are sure we like self-confidence in a woman.  We'll accept violent self-centeredness, especially in beauty queens and movie stars; the more superficial they are the more we accept it.  But a truly self-confident woman, one who looks you straight in the eye and doesn't lower her eyes in a nonverbal (and cloying) nod to your superiority, if you are male, is unnerving.

Rita Will, p. 279
