Errors from the past

  • “Men should be active and strong, women passive and weak; it is necessary the one should have both the power and the will, and that the other should make little resistance.” Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) in Emile, 1762. Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn

Quotes
