Quote by Margaret Oliphant
The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! . It is best to let him come to, and feel his own helplessness.
Summary
This quote suggests that women have long been seen as incomprehensible, but what truly astounds them is witnessing the unpredictable behavior of men in moments when they assert their dominance and refuse any communication. In such situations, women are advised to step aside and allow men to face their own vulnerability and dependence.
