sayings about woman
OP - September 18, 2009, 12:12 AM

I want to quote some famous mens sayings on woman.

And then I dare you,to tell me,who you think they are

"A brief mention may be made on the generation of other animals,sofar as the subject admits of brevity,in this manner our argument will best attain a due proportion.On the subjects of animals,then,the following remarks may be offered.Of the men who came into the world,those who were cowards and led a unrightous lives,may with reason be supposed to have changed into the nature of woman in the second generation"

Another one,he is talking of marriage:

"...constant companion,who will feel interested on one,object to be beloved and played with,-better than a dog-anyhow home.And some one to take care of the house"

"Men are more evolutionarly adwanced than woman"

"Womans brains is like an animal,with overdeveloped "sense" organ,to the detriment of the brain"

The third one:

"Man must be manly and woman womanly,effimancy in a man pleases as little as masculinityin woman"

"Men should become more perfect as a man,woman as a wife"

"Woman,jews and priests,do not usually get drunk,because they are bourgeoisly weak,and find restrain necessary,for their worth rests entirely upon the belief of others in their chastity,piety,and lawabidingness"

Jezz,how many men,through history that felt they had something reasonable to say about womans

I must agree that literature hasn't been kind to women.
I think the quote from the movie 'as Good as it gets' is in different terms described through a number of books;
You make me wanna be a better man.
Allthough it is a Hollywood movie, I resemble some familiar patterns of what I myself has gone through.
I DO improve when faced with a good woman. Beautiful women I meet every day. Of course they make an impact, but most of them aren't what you're looking for. I guess I have to agree with John Lennon:
Check out hte video 'Woman' on youtube.
Of course, intimacy in bed is great, but it is the overall experience that does it. For me.

I'd love to see the source of those quotes. I'm a little to used to seeing dishonest quote mines to not be skeptical about whether or not anyone at all ever said them.

The quotes is Plato,Immanuel Kant og Darwin.

The first one is Plato,from "Timaeus."

The following three,is Darwin,from the revised version that his grandaughter gave out in 1958,of The autobiography of Charles Darwin and from various books on Darwin,Kevles and Fee.

The three last ones,is Immanuel Kant,from "lecture in etichs",and "Observations on the feeling of the beautifull and sublime".

What do you think Cheetah?

Graad, it is the overall experience that does it

I think the same as I said in my last post - I'm skeptical until I see a source for those quotes.

Thank You.

But quotes from intelletuals in past times of little or no respect for women does not apply to our timeline.

I don't, for a second, believe that Charles Darwin said this....

Quote
Men are more evolutionarly adwanced than woman"

Or this...

Quote
Womans brains is like an animal,with overdeveloped "sense" organ,to the detriment of the brain"

Not that I would be unable to believe that Darwin had all sorts of Victorian attitudes about a woman's place, yada yada. Its just that only a complete numpty who knew nothing about biology would couch even the most Victorian notions about women in the above terms. So I need to see a link to a source before I accept that Charles Darwin was a complete numpty who knew nothing about biology.

Thanx for the link. That excerpt from Darwin was interesting, it didn't however, contain any of the quotes you attributed to him in this thread.
