Quote by Orson Scott Card
That was the most terrible thing that a woman could to a decent man: look vulnerable and ask him for mercy. If he refused her he'd be denying all his instincts as a provider and protector.
Summary
This quote implies that when a woman appears vulnerable and pleads for mercy, it puts a decent man in a difficult situation. If he declines her request, it goes against his inherent instincts to provide and protect. Thus, it suggests that rejecting a vulnerable woman's plea can be perceived as an act of betrayal to his role as a provider and protector, causing inner conflict for the man.
