然后我提出了一个显而易见的问题，即女性身体上的脆弱性可以追溯到人类成就的最重要功能，即在携带、护理和抚养孩子时吸收她的力量。我一直都知道，这一事实注定了女性在所有社会中都处于从属地位。我们不但没有因为成为生命的创造者而获得荣誉，反而受到了惩罚！在我看来，这个事实是文明的丑闻！
(Then I brought up the obvious, that the physical vulnerabilities of a woman can be traced to that most important function of human accomplishments, the absorption of her strength in carrying, nursing and rearing children. I have always known that this one fact doomed females to a subordinate status in all societies. Instead of attaining honour for being producers of life, we are penalized! To my mind, this fact is the scandal of civilization!)
