Summary

This quote suggests that women who are genuinely kind to dogs may have difficulty evoking sympathy or admiration from men. It implies that their kindness towards animals perhaps compensates for their lack of appeal or attractiveness to men. The statement reflects a biased perspective, assuming that a woman's worth is primarily determined by her ability to captivate and elicit empathy from men, rather than recognizing the intrinsic value of her kindness towards animals. It highlights societal expectations and stereotypes surrounding women's interactions with different beings.
