Quote by Lee Child

You know, women are as promiscuous as men and yet, of course, people are inhibited from having an affair or a relationship because the real-world consequences are a drag.

You know, women are as promiscuous as men and yet, of course

Summary

This quote suggests that women are just as likely to engage in promiscuous behavior as men, but societal constraints prevent them from pursuing affairs or relationships freely. The statement highlights the notion that the fear of negative real-life consequences mitigates such behavior. It implies that societal expectations, potential harm to existing relationships, or other personal factors act as inhibitions, preventing people from embracing their inclination towards promiscuity. The quote challenges traditional gender stereotypes and questions the influence of external factors on individuals' choices in intimate relationships.

One of my less pleasant chores when I was young was to read the Bible from one end to the other. Reading the Bible straight through is at least 70 percent discipline, like learning Latin. But the good parts are, of course, simply amazing. God is an extremely uneven writer, but when He's good, nobody can touch Him.
