Quote by Phyllis McGinley
Frigidity is largely nonsense. It is this generation's catchword, one only vaguely understood and constantly misused. Frigid women are few. There is a host of diffident and slow-ripening ones.
Summary
In this quote, the author challenges the concept of "frigidity" as a misunderstood and misused term. They argue that the notion of being cold or unresponsive sexually is mostly nonsensical and overly generalizes women. Instead, they suggest that what is often labeled as frigidity is often a result of hesitation or slow sexual development rather than a fixed characteristic. The author recognizes the diversity of women's experiences and rejects the simplistic notion of frigidity that has been unjustly applied to them.
