If you look at the primitive societies that we know about, the worst thing that could have happened to you was to be captured and be turned over to the women.

But there were women in the world, and from them each of our heroes had taken to himself a wife. The good ladies were no strangers to the prowess of their husbands. and, strange as it may seem, they presumed a little upon it.
If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.
Women were freed from positive duties when they could not perform them, but not when they could.
Women in the post-Fifties world were appendages. They existed to serve men. Their lives and concerns didn't matter, except insofar as they impinged on Important Male Things.
It has been said that the position of woman is the test of civilization, and that of our women was secure. In them was vested our standard of morals and the purity of our blood.
One of the things that interests me about the Regency period is how women began to stir under the thumbs of men, wanting more and bigger freedoms.
If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation.
Women are degraded by the propensity to enjoy the present moment, and, at last, despise the freedom which they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain.
Women just weren't made to bear children to give them away.
Look at history; all the interesting women were deeply flawed.
