Like the cuttlefish, a woman wraps herself in dissimulation and swims comfortably in lies.
Every man has lied since the days of Solomon; but back then, lying, whether a vice of nature or a whim of the moment, was not yet, as it has become for everyone under the blessed reign of women, a necessity and a law.
Nature, just as it armed the lion with claws and teeth, the elephant and the wild boar with tusks, the bull with horns, and the cuttlefish with ink that muddles the water, has equipped women with the art of pretending to protect and defend themselves, and all the strength it has granted to men in the form of physical vigor and reason has been bestowed upon women in the form of the aforementioned quality.
Fiction is therefore innate in women, and it belongs, almost equally, to the foolish woman as it does to the intelligent one.
Using it on every occasion is as natural for her as it is for those animals to immediately use their weapons at each attack.
It is perhaps impossible to find a truly sincere woman who does not pretend.
But for the same reason, women easily discover the pretenses of others, and it is unwise to attempt to resort to them in their regard.

uhm, and if Scioppy says so...
