If a woman possesses manly virtues one should run away from

Summary

This quote suggests that a woman who displays traditionally masculine traits is undesirable and should be avoided. However, if a woman lacks these traits and conforms to more conventional gender expectations, she will feel discontented and disconnected from her true self. The quote reflects a biased perspective that discourages women from embracing qualities that have been traditionally associated with men, implying that these traits are unfavorable and interfere with a woman's identity. It highlights the double standards and social pressures imposed on women concerning the expression of their virtues and characteristics.
