Quote by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Alas, woman is faithful as long as she loves, but you demand that she be faithful without love and give herself without enjoyment. Who is cruel then, woman or man?

Alas, woman is faithful as long as she loves, but you demand

Summary

This quote highlights the unfair expectation placed on women to be faithful and give themselves fully in a relationship, even in the absence of love and enjoyment. It questions the cruelty of expecting a woman to maintain loyalty without genuine emotions. The quote challenges traditional gender roles by suggesting that both men and women bear responsibility for this unbalanced dynamic. Ultimately, it prompts us to reflect on societal expectations and the importance of mutual love and fulfillment in relationships.
