I can only point to her response when Larry guesses that 'it is something shitty they won't do to you".......

Her "a practical idea might help" response seems to me to suggest she just wants a little help in saving herself from the shitty thing..........
And yet, the rest of the text is loaded with women who need protective men riffs.....Manson/'fucking Daddy', etc.....\

In further reflection we might see Penny's observation that IF fucking Manson IS like fucking Daddy, he is however so short that the women feel
some kind of empowerment not just submission, physically and psychologically?   

A bit of text about master-slave relationships, bad ones by definition, changing due to women's increasing societal 'freedom"??????
