"These core relationships are so strong and so consistently gratifying that I have always been comfortable in the presence of men--professionally, I've commonly worked with groups of men in science and engineering, for example. The friendship and teamwork I can offer isn't marred by the need to be manipulative or seductive. I don't have to score points or settle old grudges or bolster my self-image with sexual conquests, and I've been rewarded for having a basic ease and naturalness, a directness with men."
