A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn't want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband.

Summary

This quote reflects outdated beliefs about gender roles and the dynamic within a marriage. It suggests that a man has the sole authority to decide what his wife needs to know about satisfying his desires, limiting her autonomy and agency. The quote implies that a woman should be ignorant and reliant on her husband's teachings, disregarding her own desires and preferences. This perspective fosters unequal power dynamics and hinders open communication and mutual understanding within a relationship.
