Seth -- Women will resent independence in other women though they appreciate the same quality in a man

Seth: "To be, or to attempt to be an entire human being, is difficult. Because of western civilisation in particular, this is extremely difficult for women in particular. This is not intended specifically to apply to Ruburt; that is, he is not to get a big head, nor is he to feel offended either. Nevertheless both Ruburt and the woman who transcribed the notes are unusually independent, and women will resent independence in other women though they appreciate the same quality in a man.

"What they fear is that the responsibilities of independence will be thrust upon them."
