Women love to be called cruel, even when they are kindest.

Summary

This quote suggests that women have a tendency to find a certain appeal or attraction in being labeled as "cruel," even when they display traits of kindness.

It highlights the complexity of human nature and the potential desire to challenge societal expectations and norms.
