Clever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.

Summary

This quote implies that intelligent and charming women do not desire the right to vote. Instead, they are content allowing men to make decisions and rule over society, on the condition that men are responsible for leading their own gender as well. The underlying assumption is that such women prioritize their own personal advantages and believe that male governance is sufficient for societal progress, therefore willingly relinquishing their own political participation. However, as times have evolved, this perspective has been widely criticized for perpetuating gender inequalities and diminishing the value of women's voices in governance.
