we always treat women too well

Sorry for the late post but my initial thoughts are that it was a fairly slow read. I thought it was interesting the point that Queneau was trying to make about women. I believe Queneau was trying to adjust the viewpoint of women from the more frailer and gentler image that they have to the strong and confident image that he believes they can be. Gertie's change from frightened and helpless to strong shows what they are capable of and how he views them.
