‚Pero la verdad es que estoy cansada, horriblemente cansada de ser la esposa femenina de ese animal masculino que se rasca, pierde el pelo sistema¤  ticamente y canta tangos pasados de moda!† Quisiera†quisiera engordar, fumar un puro y enviudar de una manera indolora y elegante. The truth is, I'm tired, frightfully tired of being the feminine spouse to the masculine animal who scratches himself, systematically loses his hair and sings outdated tangos!† I'd like† I'd like to get fat, to smoke cigars and to become a widow in a painless and elegant fashion.

Our fathers have, in process of centuries, provided this realm, its colonies and wide dependencies, with a speech as malleable and pliant as Attic, dignified as Latin, masculine, yet free of Teutonic guttural, capable of being precise as French, dulcet as Italian, sonorous as Spanish, and captaining all these excellences to its service.

What would happen if†men could menstruate and women could not? Clearly, menstruationwould become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much.Young boys would talk about it as the envied beginning of manhood† Generals, right-wing politicians, and religious fundamentalists would cite †'mens-truation'as proof that only men could serve God and country in combat† If men could menstruate, the power justifications would go on and on. If we let them.

   Gentleness, docility, and a spaniel-like affection are, on this ground, consistently recommended as the cardinal virtues of the sex; and, disregarding the arbitrary economy of nature, one writer has declared that it is masculine for a woman to be melancholy. She was created to be the toy of man, his rattle, and it must jingle in his ears, whenever, dismissing reason, he chooses to be amused.

-Wollstonecraft, Mary also known as Mrs Godwin
  AVindication of the Rights ofWoman, pt.1, ch.2.

It is obvious that the values of women differ very often from the values which have been made by the other sex† Yet it is the masculine values that prevail.
