Summary

This quote conveys the notion that women, in general, do not have a natural inclination towards war or a deep understanding of it. It suggests that war is a realm where men excel because they are the ones who have invented and endured the hardships and challenges associated with it. The quote implies that men have a uniquely intimate experience with the consequences and realities of war, which differentiates their perspective from that of women.
