Possessiveness

Subject: Possessiveness
Quote:  “You see a man doesn’t want to feel that a woman cares more for him than he does for her…. He doesn’t want to feel owned, body and soul.  It’s that damned possessive attitude!  This man is mine—he belongs to me!  That’s the sort of thing I can’t stick—no man could stick!  He wants to get away—to get free.  He wants to own his woman; he doesn’t want her to own him.”
