Quote by Louise Bernikow
Every time I say sure when I mean no, every time I smile brightly when I'm exploding with rage, every time I imagine my man's achievement is my own, I know the cheerleader never really died. I feel her shaking her ass inside me and I hear her breathless, girlish voice mutter T-E-A-M, Yea, Team.

Summary
This quote reflects the inner conflict of pretending to be supportive and cheerful when deep down there may be hidden feelings of anger, resentment, or envy. It highlights the subconscious presence of a "cheerleader" persona, always striving to maintain a positive façade even when it goes against one's true emotions. The quote also touches on the tendency to associate one's self-worth and success with that of their partner, blurring the lines between individual achievements and collective accomplishments.
