THE MOTH
Hapley was one of the most celebrated entomologists of his time, famous for his discoveries and infamous for his bitter feud with Professor Pawkins. Their rivalry had lasted for decades and had grown from an academic disagreement into a personal war. It began when Pawkins dismissed a species Hapley had named, and from that moment onward, the two men attacked each other relentlessly in papers, meetings, and public lectures. Their quarrel became legendary within scientific circles, stirring passions as fierce as any religious dispute.

How to Avoid Being a Pick-Me Girl: A Step-by-Step Guide

She wants approval from men by devaluing other women. This manual exists to prevent that. Follow carefully. Missteps have social consequences.
