Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.

Summary

This quote alludes to a paradoxical concept of nostalgia for difficult times. It suggests that looking back, the moments of adversity were somehow cherished or even missed, despite the unhappiness experienced during those times. It highlights the complexity of human emotions and our tendency to nostalgically recall challenging periods while acknowledging the personal growth or meaningful experiences that may have been gained from them. Ultimately, it reminds us that our perceptions of happiness and fulfillment can evolve and change over time.

There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood what women want and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
