It is important to note that "depressed" women are (like women in general) only verbally hostile; unlike most men, they do not express their hostility physically-either directly, to the "significant others" in their lives, or indirectly, through physical and athletic prowess. It is safer for women to become "depressed" than physically violent.
Why didn't our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers tell us what battle it is we lost, or never fought, so that we would understand how total was our defeat, and that religion and madness and frigidity were how we mourned it?
