To all the women out there that want to be treated equally-

I will be willing to respect you if you were respectable, but that isn’t commonly the case. A respectable man is a man that does his job. He fulfills his duties- he takes care of the business aspects of life, he takes care of his woman.

“Behold, I should answer, the natural effect of innocence” (174).

“Dismissing then (those pretty feminine phrases) which the men condescendingly use to soften our slavish dependence…I wish to show that elegance is inferior to virtue” (172)

I’m ashamed to know that a fellow author would write such words. I don’t understand where this mentality comes from, but it truly is unfortunate. 

Like I’ve said before- I understand that “…there is little reason to fear that women will acquire to much courage or fortitude; for their apparent inferiority with respect to bodily strength must render them, in some degree, dependent on men…” (173). So yes, women to need the help from men when it comes to making money, due to the nature of most jobs. But our job is not to concentrate on beauty- our job is to be equal!

“How vain are all these glories, all (your) pains, unless good sense preserve what beauty gains?” (2529) 

I will take a woman a little more serious if she takes care of herself, much unlike yourself. Which brings me to question, “how shall I, then, your helpless fame defend” (2527) ? No one will take you seriously until you try to do your job.

“Already (I) hear the horrid things they say, Already see you a degraded toast, And all your honor in a whisper lost” (2527) 

Are you aware of what people think of you, Ms. Feminist? 

Are you aware of what people think of you?? 

And to be honest, I don’t think it matters that you hate women- I’m not going to be able to change your mind. But, in reality, you’re doing womankind a favor- we don’t want anything to do with you anyways. 

It’s ironic that you want to discuss defending fame…..take a look at yourself before you go off judging me. 

I’m not that one that needs to be concerned with appearances!!
