I don't think that women in general are in the habit of kicking puppies.
They do sometimes step on them or trip over them, though. Puppies are low to the ground and hard to see if you're caught up in thinking about something else. A puppy is better off curled up somewhere other than the floor.
a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
