Summary

This quote suggests that if a woman displays an intellectual or scholarly inclination, there is likely a problem with her sexual desires or orientation. It implies a sexist belief that there is a connection between a woman's intellect and her sexuality, and that women who pursue intellectual pursuits are somehow deviant or abnormal. This statement perpetuates harmful stereotypes and undermines the abilities and aspirations of women, reinforcing the notion that their intellectual pursuits should be aligned with societal expectations of femininity.
