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.

There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.
