Summary

This quote suggests that for a friendship between a woman and a man to last, there needs to be a certain level of physical distance or discomfort between them. It implies that a slight aversion or lack of intense physical attraction can help maintain the friendship, as it prevents romantic entanglements or complications from arising.

Never may an act of possession be exercised upon a free being; the exclusive possession of a woman is no less unjust than the possession of slaves; all men are born free, all have equal rights: never should we lose sight of those principles; according to which never may there be granted to one sex the legitimate right to lay monopolizing hands upon the other, and never may one of the sexes, or classes, arbitrarily possess the other.
