The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of fem

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that society starts imposing stereotypes and expectations on females from a very early age, even before they are born. The moment a doctor assigns a gender at birth, it sets the stage for the formation of social norms and assumptions about what it means to be a girl or a woman. It suggests that societal pressures, biases, and limitations placed on females are deeply ingrained and can have significant effects on their emotional, sexual, and psychological development throughout their lives.

A true gentleman is at a disadvantage in dealing with women. Women are realist, and their tactics are realistic, so no man should be a gentleman where women are concerned unless the women are very, very young. Women admire gentlemen, and sleep with cads.
