Summary

This quote suggests that a woman who displays traditionally masculine traits is undesirable and should be avoided. However, if a woman lacks these traits and conforms to more conventional gender expectations, she will feel discontented and disconnected from her true self. The quote reflects a biased perspective that discourages women from embracing qualities that have been traditionally associated with men, implying that these traits are unfavorable and interfere with a woman's identity. It highlights the double standards and social pressures imposed on women concerning the expression of their virtues and characteristics.

It was not the way Curve smelled that Colin liked - not exactly. It was the way the air smelled just as Lindsey began to jog away from him. The smell of perfume left behind. There's not a word for that in English, but Colin knew the French word: sillage. What Colin liked about Curve was not its smell on the skin but its sillage, the fruity sweet smell of its leaving.
