Here are a few that I have picked up while teaching Psychology of Gender: Darwin: "Being married to a woman provided the man with a constant companion, a friend in old age, an object to be loved and played with, better than a dog anyhow."
Paul Broca (of "Broca's area"): "The relatively small size of the female brain depends in part upon her physical inferiority and in part upon her intellectual inferiority" and that women's brains are "too small for them to be educated." Edward Clarke, Harvard Medical School Board of Overseers, 1874: �Education would require diverting blood from the reproductive organs to their brains; they�d be unable to bear children.� Herbert Spencer - �Women shouldn�t vote - they have too much maternal instinct.� G. Stanley Hall - "higher education for women would spell race suicide� [of the white, or European race] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
