1. When Aristotle Said Women Are Defective Men<\/b>
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe female is a female by virtue of a certain lack of qualities; we should regard the female nature as afflicted with a natural defectiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. When St. Thomas Aquinas Said Women Are Sperm Accidents
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 A female is deficient and unintentionally caused. For the active power of the semen always seeks to produce a thing completely like itself, something male. So if a female is produced, this must be because the semen is weak or because the material [provided by the female parent] is unsuitable, or because of the action of some external factor such as the winds from the south which make the atmosphere humid.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. When Napoleon Said Women Are Just Slaves
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cNature intended women to be our slaves\u2026 they are our property; we are not theirs. They belong to us, just as a tree that bears fruit belongs to a gardener\u2026. Women are nothing more than machines for producing children.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. When Cato The Elder Argued That All Women Are Wild Animals<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWoman is a violent and uncontrolled animal, and it is useless to let go the reins and then expect her not to kick over the traces. You must keep her on a tight rein\u2026. Women want total freedom or rather \u2013 to call things by their names \u2013 total licence. If you allow them to achieve complete equality with men, do you think they will be easier to live with? Not at all. Once they have achieved equality, they will be your masters.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. When Pliny The Elder Warned That Menstrual Blood Is Poisonous
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOn the approach of a woman in this state, must will become sour, seeds which are touched by her become sterile, grafts wither away, garden plants are parched up, and the fruit will fall from the tree beneath which she sits. Her very look, even, will dim the brightness of mirrors, blunt the edge of steel, and take away the polish from ivory. A swarm of bees, if looked upon by her, will die immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. When Plutarch Did Not Approve Of Independent Lady-Emotions
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cA wife should have no feelings of her own, but share her husband\u2019s seriousness and sport, his anxiety and his laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. When Friedrich Nietzsche Was Basically Just Friedrich Nietzsche
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cFinally \u2013 woman! One-half of mankind is weak, typically sick, changeable, inconstant \u2013 woman needs a religion of weakness that glorifies being weak, loving, being humbled as divine.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. When Jean-Jacques Rousseau Said Ladies Only Need To Be Taught About Men
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole education of women ought to be relative to men. To please them, to be useful to them, to make themselves loved and honored by them, to educate them when young, to care for them when grown, to council them, to console them, and to make life agreeable and sweet to them \u2013 these are the duties of women at all times, and should be taught them from their infancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. When Sigmund Freud Despaired Of Grown Ladies\u2019 Sexuality
<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe sexual life of adult women is a \u2018dark continent\u2019 for psychology.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. When James Joyce Was A Bit Of An Idiot<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMen are governed by lines of intellect \u2013 women: by curves of emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n
