This sense of the awfulness of woman is the base , the lowest layer ( just as the Dead Sea is the lowest point in the landscape ) of western man 's nature , from which all the rest rises . As Jill mentioned in her interview , " letting men 's hatred of women be bounced off your body " is not a choice ; it is simply survival . The misfortune of woman is not that she is unable to do the work of man , but that she is wasting her life force to outdo him , with a tradition of centuries which has left her physically incapable of keeping pace with him . And the sex of woman is not a vice , but nature . To say that men do n't experience precisely the same form of degradation as women is , of course , true . In cooperation with the Human Rights Watch Women = s Rights Project , we urged that human rights concerns of women be promoted and that any human rights training for Bosnian police include special training on responding to and investigating crimes of violence against women . A generation ago women were horrified to be caught nude or half dressed . In the guidelines for their new church , Thomas M'Clintock wrote that in the Progressive Friends , " not only will the equality of women be recognized , but so perfectly , that in our meetings , larger and smaller , men and women will meet together and transact business together . The fear of woman is partly a fear of one 's own effeminacy , so that homosexuality is seen as a defense against feminization rather than an expression of it . In the following chapter of B'reshit as well , the reason for the creation of woman is so that man should have " a help suitable for him " . Using the Declaration of Independence as her guide , Stanton declared that all men and women had been created equal , and she demanded that the rights of women be acknowledged and respected . Although one would not know it from the surface of Ransom 's poems , for example , their constitutive rage at women is again historically grounded . Just a century ago women were barred from seeking degrees and advanced training in the sciences in most universities in Europe .
