Not content with their physical advantage, men lower women further to make them merely alluring
Drawn from what Mary Wollstonecraft said
What Mary Wollstonecraft actually said
- Mary Wollstonecraft English moral and political philosopher (1759 to 1797)
But not content with this natural pre-eminence, men endeavour to sink us still lower, merely to render us alluring objects for a moment; and women, intoxicated by the adoration which men, under the influence of their senses, pay them, do not seek to obtain a durable interest in their hearts, or to become the friends of the fellow creatures who find amusement in their society.
