Summary

This quote suggests that societal expectations, rather than personal choices or character, play a significant role in defining the conduct of individuals. It implies that men are constrained by societal standards to behave in an acceptable manner, meeting certain expectations placed upon them. In contrast, women, who historically held more limited and restrictive roles, may be more daring or deviant due to their marginalized status, exercising agency in opposing societal norms. Overall, this quote highlights the ways in which societal norms and expectations shape the behavior and opportunities available to individuals based on their gender.

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd,I stand and look at them long and long.They do not sweat and whine about their condition,They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.
