Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

Women are nothing but machines for producing children.

Women are nothing but machines for producing children.

Summary

This quote reflects a derogatory perspective towards women, reducing their worth and purpose solely to childbearing. It implies a dehumanizing and objectifying view, disregarding women's autonomy, agency, and individuality. Such a belief undermines the diverse abilities, contributions, and aspirations of women, neglecting their intellectual, social, and cultural value. Women's significance extends beyond being reproductive mechanisms, encompassing their multifaceted roles as leaders, thinkers, creators, and contributors to society. This quote fails to acknowledge and appreciate the complexities and potential of women beyond the narrow lens of procreation.

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore...But let there be spaces in your togetherness...Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not of the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
