Description: The most curious sexism is the sexism that insists only a single sex is the victim of sexism
“ Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. ”
Arthur Schopenhauer, On Women [1]
