Summary

This quote highlights a gender bias in how society views and labels the actions of men and women. It suggests that when women use their beauty and attractiveness to influence others, it is deemed acceptable and celebrated through the institution of marriage. However, when men assert their power and success, particularly during middle age, they are often judged negatively and categorized as going through a mid-life crisis. The quote seeks to shed light on the disparity in societal perceptions and expectations placed on men and women in relation to their respective sources of power and expression.
