A gender line... helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but

Summary

This quote expresses how the existence of a gender divide restricts women's freedom and potential. Rather than highlighting women's worth and abilities, it confines them within societal expectations and limitations. The idea of putting women on a pedestal implies praise, but it also implies distance and separation. Ultimately, this quote suggests that breaking down traditional gender norms and hierarchies is essential for true equality and empowerment of women.
