People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.

We're contemptuous of 'distracted' working mothers. We're contemptuous of 'selfish' rich mothers.
