what begins as a manifesto against the terrible, no-good men of the world (of which there are many!) becomes a beautiful and sad elegy to female friendship. reminds me deeply of this passage from Sula:

“‘All that time, all that time, I thought I was missing Jude.’ And the loss pressed down on her chest and came up into her throat. ‘We was girls together,’ she said as though explaining something. ‘O Lord, Sula,’ she cried, ‘girl, girl, girlgirlgirl.’ It was a fine cry—loud and long—but it had no bottom and it had not top, just circles and circles of sorrow.”
