Good women always think it is their fault when someone else is being offensive. Bad women never take the blame for anything.

Good women always think it is their fault when someone else

Summary

This quote suggests that good women tend to internalize blame when someone else behaves offensively or inappropriately. They assume responsibility for the actions of others, even if they are not at fault. On the other hand, bad women are portrayed as those who never accept or acknowledge guilt, avoiding blame for any wrongdoing. This quote highlights societal expectations and gender stereotypes, implying that good women are expected to show remorse and take responsibility regardless of their actual involvement, while bad women escape accountability.
