Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

Men have broad and large chests, and small narrow hips, and more understanding than women, who have but small and narrow breasts, and broad hips, to the end they should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children

Summary

This quote seems to promote a gender stereotype that suggests men are more intelligent and capable than women due to their physical attributes. It argues that men have broader chests, symbolizing greater strength, and narrower hips, symbolizing agility and clarity of mind. Conversely, women are portrayed as physically limited by narrow breasts and broad hips, insinuating a supposed inclination for staying at home, tending to domestic responsibilities, and raising children. The quote reflects a gender-biased perspective that underestimates women's abilities, based solely on physical characteristics.
