Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.
Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.
Women live lives of continual apology. They are born and raised to take the blame for other people's behavior. If they are treated without respect, they tell themselves that they have failed to earn respect. If their husbands do not fancy them, it is because they are unattractive.
Women have to be pure and respectful.
No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they have never thought seriously about them.
Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.
Men secretly respect a woman who is strong, has confidence and has dreams of her own. There's nothing more attractive to a man than a woman who has dignity and pride in who she is.
Women seem not to understand, or underestimate, the profound power they have over their husbands.
I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.'
The vanity of men, a constant insult to women, is also the ground for the implicit feminine claim of superior sensitivity and morality.
