Quote by Anthony Trollope

“Shall a woman be flayed alive because it is unfeminine in her to fight for her own skin?  What is the good of being—feminine, as you call it?  Have you asked yourself that?  That men may be attracted, I should say.  But if a woman finds that men only take advantage of her assumed weakness, shall she not throw it off?  If she be treated as prey, shall she not fight as a beast of prey?  Oh, no;—it is so unfeminine!”
