Summary

This quote highlights the common belief that men tend to be attracted to attractive women even when they are already married. However, it claims that instead of forgetting their marital status and being tempted by an attractive woman, men are actually reminded of their commitment and the potential consequences of indulging in such temptations. It suggests that the allure of a pretty woman serves as a reminder that they are spoken for, making the attraction more painful than pleasurable.

Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. She cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....Nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.
