Women crave for being loved, not for loving. They scream out at you for sympathy all day long, they are incapable of giving any in return, for they cannot state a fact accurately to another, nor can that other woman attend to it accurately enough for it to become information. Now is not all this the result of want of sympathy? I am sick with indignation at what wives and mothers will do of the most shocking selfishness. And people call it all maternal or conjugal affection, and think it pretty to say so. No, no, let each person tell the truth from their own experience.

. In a letter to John Stuart Mill from 1860, Nightingale noted that female doctors had made "no improvement" on what Nightingale saw as the dire situation of "M.D. ship"; women doctors "have only tried to be 'Men' & they have only succeeded in being third-rate men."
Damn now heres the case:-at then time she was not trying to appease to incels here and there
But goddamn she was very brutal in writing
Probably because she saw so many men brutally injured in the war
