The gentlemen who regard the fair sex as weak and unprotected are the victims of monstrous delusion. Her very weakness is her strength.
“Frailty thy name is woman.” When the henpecked, exhausted husband hears this statement, a picture comes to mind of a stout, solid woman with a ready temper and readier tongue which specializes in pouring forth a barrage of invectives, and he sighs with disillusionment and says, “The sages have not known life in it’s true colours.” When the rigid, conservative politician, longing for the return of the old order, hears the words ‘frail’ and ‘fragile’ in connection with women, he is reminded of those suffragettes who valiantly faced torture, abuse, and mockery to achieve their rights and ceaselessly campaigned and canvassed till they gained their goal. He reflects gloomily that things have come to such a pass that man cannot call even his vote his own. His soul has been requisitioned long ago but now the time has come when he must exercise his vote according to sweet will of his better half. Charm has become a necessary qualification for a candidate if he wants to win female voters and, through them, their husband’s votes. ‘Woman is not at all frail, not at all frail,’ he explodes.
When the poet sing about the liquid brilliance of her eyes and the dazzling sweetness of her smile, they do not take into consideration the young and beautiful female who surveys you up and down, calculates your bank balance, and lays out plans to entangle you in her net with keen instincts of a merciless huntress. The poet sings in blissful ignorance.
The gentlemen who regard the fair sex as weak and unprotected are the victims of monstrous delusion. Except in the most barbaric societies no man uses his strong fist to strike a woman. Her very weakness is her strength. When a girl’s air of helpless dear arouses the protective instincts of a man the egoist, he comes forward as a gallant champion to defend her. This wave of sentimental recklessness is in reality a mark of colossal folly. It would turn him into a bankrupt, if it were applied by him in the field of business. Actually a woman’s strength is stupendous. No man can endure the throes of childbirth which has fallen to the lot of women, nor has he the patient forbearance needed for bringing up the children and managing the house.
Women are always being underestimated, even the soft spoken ones. We indeed are not frail
