“...A woman ... does not go to war, does not copy papers, does not build railways, but by locking a decanter of vodka from her husband, helps to reduce excise duties. In short, she is crafty, talkative, vain, deceitful, hypocritical, mercenary, incompetent, frivolous, evil... Only one thing is cute about her, namely, that she gives birth to such cute, graceful, and terribly intelligent souls like men... For this virtue, we will forgive her all her sins.”
