Quote by Oscar Wilde

Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.

Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by block

Summary

This quote suggests that initially, women may reject or resist the advances of men who show interest in them. However, as time passes, women may become more assertive and confident in expressing their boundaries. Consequently, they may not only reject forward advances but also prevent any attempt by the man to withdraw or back away. This quote highlights the evolution of a woman's attitude towards men's advances, indicating a shift from initial caution to later taking control of their own boundaries and desires.
