"We have this built-in disesteem for women and it's got to change."

For many years, once I was sensible that she exaggerated or fabricated the tales she told me, I bore the humiliation of this mark of her disesteem.

This attitude of disesteem toward women has given rise to a culture that among other things has discouraged abuse victims from coming forward.

That was the spirit of the Holyoke Center, a building that is held in disesteem by the entire universe.
