“The manner Women are bred in, (...) they are admitted to no share of the exercises which wou'd qualify them to attack or defend. They see themselves helplessly exposed to the outrages of a sex enslaved to the most brutal transports; and find themselves victims of contempt to wretches, whose prevalent strength is often exerted against them, with more fury and cruelty than beasts practise towards one another.

Or ought it not rather to be alledged as a proof of our sense: Since it wou'd be rather fool-hardiness than courage to withstand brutes, who want the sense to be overcome by reason, and whom we want vigour to repel by force of arms?” FeminismMisogynyPatriarchyViolence Against Women18th CenturyDouble Standards18th Century FeminismWomen S OppressionAmazon Feminism Book:Woman Not Inferior to Man Source: Woman Not Inferior to Man
