ADDITIONALS: Who said that Woman is Inferior to Man?

    People have many differences; attitude, belief, taste and the likes. Factors that may affect these
differences could be the environment, childhood experiences and inherited by their parent.

    Close friends, sweet lovers, bonded brothers or sisters, name it. We cannot expect them that there was no single time that they don’t have misunderstanding of each other because of our own different personalities. We have our own likes and dislikes, beliefs and disbeliefs, and a maximum/minimum level of understanding about things, situations and circumstances.

    In my college life, my interest of reading books and magazines continues. During my vacant time, I spent this in the library instead of chatting with classmates at the canteen, standby in some corners of the buildings (that was my first to two and a half years in college [wink wink]).

   

One topic that captures my attention is a psychology book (not penning the book title). This is about famous Victor Hugo’s selection; the differences about woman and man. I do not have keen idea about the author’s life, I was just questioned why this author tells more good qualities about women where in fact he is a man. Recently, I have watched the movie “Les Miserables”, in some point I have thought something about the answer of that question, and made me interest.

    Discrimination of woman at the early century is an issue, of course everybody knows about this. The

man should take the rule – in the family, in society and in the whole universe.

However, to this author, for him, man and woman should be equal.

    Here are his explanations why man and woman should be equal:

MEN	WOMEN
More adventurous	More changeable
Have a stronger mastery motive	Prefer more sedentary or indoor occupations.
More broadminded	Superior in color discrimination
More judicious	More hypocritical than men
Excel in skill with spatial relation	Mature earlier and faster
Excel in theoretical economic values	More vain
More speech defects	More cooperative and more persistent
Excel in weight and height	More tender-hearted
Excel in physical strength	More compassionate and sympathetic
More independent	More superstitious
More curious	More timid and fastidious
Excel women in reasoning	More sensitive
Excel women in noise-making	Excel men in details
Men think about things	Excel men in memorizing
Excel in mathematics	Excel men in talkativeness
Excel in motor activity	Women think of men
More aggressive	Excel in literature
	Better in linguistic ability
	More submissive
	When become cruel; morecruel than men.

VICTOR HUGO’S SELECTION…WHO SAID THAT WOMEN IS INFERIOR TO MAN? – MAN AND WOMEN ARE EQUAL

MAN	WOMAN
HIGHIEST of all CREATIONS	The most SUBLIME of all IDEALS
God made for man a THRONE; the throne EXHALTS	God made for woman an ALTAR; the altar SANCTIFIES.
Man is the CEREBRUM; the cerebrum FABRICATES LIGHT: light FECUNDS.	Woman is the HEART; the heart produce LOVE: love RESUSCITATES.
Man is GENIUS; genius is UNDEFINABLE.	Woman is an ANGEL; angel is UNMEASUREABLE.
Man is strong in REASONS; reasons CONVINCE the most stubborn.	Woman is invincible in her TEARS; tears SOFTEN the hardest of mortals.
Man is TEMPLE; before a temple we REVERE.	Woman is SANCTUARY; before a sanctuary we KNEEL.
Man is the Eagle that SOARS; to fly is to DOMINATE the space.	Woman is the Nightingale that SINGS; to sing is CONQUER the soul.
Capable of HEROISM; heroism ENNOBLES.	Capable of MARTYRDOM; martyrdom SANCTIFIES.
Man is the OCEAN; the ocean has its PEARL that Adorns.	Woman is the LAKE; the lake has its POEM to Dazzles.
He has a LIGHTHOUSE; his CONSCIENCE; the lighthouse GUIDE.	He has a STAR; the HOPE; the hope SAVES.
Man is the CODE; the code CORRECTS.	Woman is the GOSPEL; the gospel PERFECTS.
Man is placed where the earth ENDS.	Woman where heaven BEGINS.

"It takes a hundred men to make an encampment, but a woman alone can build a home. I not only admire the woman as the most beautiful object ever created, but I revere her as the redeeming glory of humanity, the pledge of all human virtues, the sanctuary of the perfect quality of head and heart."

    "She is the one thing in this world that remains constant; the one peak that is always above the clouds, the one window where lights always burn. The only star that darkness cannot quench is the woman’s love. It excuses the most cruel injury; perennial of life. It grows in all climates. Neither coldness nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty can extinguish it."

    "Woman’s love is the perfume of the heart, it is the one love that is forever constant, the one love that has wrought all miracles of art, the love that conquers the world, the love that has given music from the cradle, song to the end of the closing symphony that brings away our souls on the wings of fire."

    ”It is greater than might, sweeter than life, and stronger than death. Without this love, the world would be a curse.”
