Arthur Schopenhauer: Studies in Pessimism: WOMEN

Been reading this classic for the “Umpteenth” time.

This passage has captivated me:

"That woman is by nature meant to obey may be seen by the fact that every woman who is placed in the unnatural position of complete independence, immediately attaches herself to some man, by whom she allows herself to be guided and ruled.

It is because she needs a lord and master.

If she is young, it will be a lover; if she is old, a priest."

Makes sense that wamatha wa women’s guild husikiza confessors wao more than their husbands. Ati heri akae choir practice na meetings after kanisa kuliko kuenda kwa mzee.
