mihrsuri:

““Yet [men] demand more constancy from women than they themselves can muster, for these men who claim to be so strong and of such noble condition are unable to prevent themselves from falling into many, even greater faults and sins, not all of them out of ignorance, but rather out of pure malice, knowing well that they are in the wrong. All the same, they excuse themselves for this by claiming it is human nature to sin. When a few women lapse, (and when these men themselves, through their own striving and their own power, are the cause) then as far as these men are concerned it is completely a matter of fragility and inconstancy.””

— Christine de Pizan (1365-1430)
