Speak for yourself, please, Bronte. My experience of Edg has been rather different. Quite starkly different, in fact. > In a world where women know they can't rely on anyone but themselves, we have learned to be tough as any man. But our hearts long for the kind of man who sees through the armour, who can honor and cherish the innocent little girl that never disappeared, that lives inside us, often forgotten even by us. Either he doesn't always see through the armor, or he is sometimes moved not to honor and cherish the little girl he finds inside, but to try to rape and murder her in retribution for the outer tough part having given him a hard time.
