On behalf of all those dead
who learned their hatred of women long ago,
for those who hate them now, for those unborn
who shall live to hate them yet, I now declare
my firm conviction: neither earth nor ocean
produces a creature as savage and monstrous
as woman. (Euripides)

On behalf of all those dead who learned their hatred of women long ago, for those who hate them now, for those unborn who shall live to hate them yet, I now declare my firm conviction: neither earth nor ocean produces a creature as savage and monstrous as woman.

It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall be worth doing, and be of itself pleasant to do and which should he done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious.
