[Concerning] the usual contempt with which an orthodox analytic group treats all outsiders and strangers ...

I can sit down with my sisters, and they can talk about my body in a certain way, and I will laugh about it with them. That's such a comfortable and loving relationship. But if a stranger I meet in a party makes the same comment, depending on their tone, that's not okay.
