Description

"Yes, women are the greatest evil Zeus has made, and men are bound to them hand and foot with impossible knots by God."-Semonides, seventh century B.C.Men put women on a pedestal to worship them from afar-and to take better aim at them for the purpose of derision. Why is this paradoxical response to women so widespread, so far-reaching, so all-pervasive? Misogyny, David D.
