Show me a frigid women and, nine times out of ten, I'll show you a little man.

Show me a frigid women and, nine times out of ten, I'll show

Summary

This quote implies that when a woman appears cold or emotionless, it is often because she is under the influence or control of a man. The "little man" refers to someone who asserts dominance over women and limits their expression and autonomy. It suggests that this behavior of controlling women leads them to suppress their feelings and appear unapproachable. Additionally, it implies that women may not naturally be frigid, but their behavior is a consequence of the oppressive expectations placed upon them by men.
