Panther girls are arrogant. They live by themselves in the northern
forests, by hunting, and slaving and outlawry. They have little respect
for anyone, or anything, saving themselves and, undeniably, the beasts
they hunt, the tawny forest panthers, the
swift, sinuous sleen. I can
understand why it is that such women hate men, but it is less clear to me
why they hold such enmity to women. Indeed, they accord more respect
to
men, who hunt them, and whom they hunt, as worthy foes, than they do to
women other than themselves. They regard, it seems, all women, slave or
free, as soft, worthless creatures, so unlike themselves.
