Women serve but to keep a man from better company.

Summary

This quote suggests that women are only valuable to men as a means to prevent them from seeking other companionship or engaging in activities that are deemed more beneficial or enjoyable. It implies that women are somehow inferior and are only useful as a deterrent to keep men from pursuing more fulfilling interactions. This perspective diminishes the role and worth of women, reducing them to mere objects of convenience rather than recognizing their individuality and unique contributions to society.
