"I... can't deny that you're right. But you can stand up for yourself, fight your own battles and make your own decisions. Men, even enlightened ones, seem to feel the need to defend your honour, no matter what..." Peggy rolled her now dry eyes. How often had that happened to her at home. Even Steve in the beginning had tried to defend her when she was perfect capable of defending herself. "It's different when you're a child, that's what parents do. We look after you and defend you and teach you how to do it for yourself when you're grown. And here you are, with a good head on your shoulders and you're in charge of your own destiny. I'm so proud of that, my darling."
