Why have men of superiour endowments 60 2| virtue, to the same number of men taken from the common mass 61 2| man has been made a God. Men have submitted to superior 62 3| unmerited contempt that men, as well as women, seem 63 3| inferred from thence, that men of genius have commonly 64 3| that the majority of great men have lived beyond forty-five. 65 3| perfections) by the same means as men, instead of being educated 66 3| apply those principles which men have discovered; and it 67 3| observations, which direct men to the establishment of 68 3| directed to the study of men, and to the attainment of 69 3| movements are the passions of men.

Men have thus, in one station, 108 4| excepting warriors, no great men, of any denomination, have 109 4| that to them, as to other men, it must be the purchase 110 4| continue the comparison, men, in their youth, are prepared 111 4| their character, were not men, because liberty, virtue, 112 4| reason. 'Educate women like men,' says Rousseau, 'and the 113 4| them to have power over men; but over themselves.~ ~ 114 4| same strain have I heard men argue against instructing 115 4| the unmarried or childless men.'

Men order their thoughts to 139 4| insisted upon, for, speaking of men, women, or professions, 140 4| and conversing more with men, on general topics, acquire 141 4| I only contend that the men who have been placed in 142 4| character - I speak of bodies of men, and that men of genius 143 4| bodies of men, and that men of genius and talents have 144 5| dependence is not the same. The men depend on the women only 145 5| desires; the women on the men both on account of their 146 5| be always relative to the men. To please, to be useful 147 5| and act gracefully, and men as much address as to qualify 148 5| questions asked by the holy men, I assert these facts on 149 5| under subjection to the men, or to the opinions of mankind; 150 5| the temper; for, as a sex, men have better tempers than 151 5| domestic life, many sensible men will allow, who find some 152 5| desire of pleasing other men, when she can no longer 153 5| becomes itself little?~ ~ Men have superiour strength 154 5| more agreeably, than the men; they are accused also of 155 5| too much practised both by men and women. - Out of the 156 5| her a little knowledge of men, and the customs produced 157 5| than to observe in other men a fellow-feeling with all 158 5| that I have heard rational men use the word indecent, when 159 5| were only flattered by the men who loved them; I mean, 160 5| always true to its text. Men are allowed by moralists 161 5| always forbidding; and that men of sensibility desire in 162 5| that I would justify the men in any thing wrong on their 163 5| secret, especially from the men who generally look with 164 5| cultivated understanding.' If men of real merit, as he afterwards 165 5| modulated to please fools, or men, who having little claim 166 5| close in their phalanx. Men, indeed, who insist on their 167 5| delicacy, he adds, 'The men will complain of your reserve. 168 5| woman over the hearts of men, of men of the finest parts, 169 5| over the hearts of men, of men of the finest parts, is 170 5| Wisdom to the daughters of men!-~ ~ SECT. IV.~ ~ I do 171 5| argue in the same track as men, and adopt the sentiments 172 5| endeavouring to please other men. Noble morality! But thus 173 5| contempt and obloquy that men, who never insult their 174 5| sentiments of these polite men, who do not wish to be encumbered 175 5| over the deliberations of men, how sacredly has he established 176 5| they endeavour to resemble men, yet when they come before 177 5| only for the relaxation of men, and to perpetuate the species; 178 5| God? asked the wisest of men.~ ~ It is natural for youth 179 5| opinion without reserve; if men were only born to form a 180 5| dogmatical assertion made by men who have coolly seen mankind 181 5| seem, that one reason why men have superiour judgment, 182 5| the sons and daughters of men pursuing shadows, and anxiously 183 5| the throng, and feel as men feel before we can judge 184 5| still.'~ ~ The fact is, that men expect from education, what 185 5| watched, become the weakest men, because their instructors 186 5| excellence be expected. Men will not become moral when 187 5| shuffling worldly wisdom of men, who, forgetting that they 188 6| address to excite emotions in men, that pleasure and power 189 6| modest merit of reasonable men has, of course, less effect 190 6| be more reasonable than men in their likings, and still 191 6| uncontrouled use of reason. When do men fall-in-love with sense? 192 6| excited by common qualities. - Men look for beauty and the 193 6| is a state in which many men live; but few, very few 194 6| recurring to a sexual character. Men, for whom we are told women 195 6| wooers, and fond slaves.~ ~ Men of wit and fancy are often 196 6| is the food of love. Such men will inspire passion. Half 197 7| more audaciously lewd than men, however depraved, to whom 198 7| man with man, with medical men, on anatomical subjects; 199 7| be insulted by sensible men, and rarely by men of any 200 7| sensible men, and rarely by men of any description, if they 201 7| familiar with their persons. Men are not always men in the 202 7| persons. Men are not always men in the company of women, 203 7| world contains many modest men.~ ~ As I have always been 204 7| women are more chaste than men, and as modesty is the effect 205 7| with more modesty amongst men than women, simply because 206 7| than women, simply because men exercise their understandings 207 7| manly, which makes many men stare insultingly at every 208 7| private virtue, till both men and women grow more modest - 209 7| grow more modest - till men, curbing a sensual fondness 210 7| supported by voluptuous men as the very essence of modesty, 211 7| refinement on lust, that men fall into who have not sufficient 212 7| for affection.~ ~ Again; men boast of their triumphs 213 7| subject, by saying, that till men are more chaste women will 214 7| voluptuous enjoyments.~ ~ Men will probably still insist 215 7| opinion. No, they are the men of fancy, the favourites 216 7| familiar with each other than men are, when they boast of 217 7| more nasty customs, which men never fall into. Secrets 218 7| neglected attentions; yet if men and women took half as much 219 7| women only dress to gratify men of gallantry; for the lover 220 7| constitution. Women as well as men ought to have the common 221 7| people, to each other, as men and women, is the last thing 222 7| rarely to be seen: yet, if men were only anxious to cultivate 223 8| grave of virtue among the men; but its throne among women.' 224 8| return to virtue, though men preserve theirs during the 225 8| of streets, to be seen of men, verily obtain the reward 226 8| in the virtues of great men, set off each other; and 227 8| women, it is despised by men: and the two extremes are 228 8| destructive to morality.~ ~ Men are certainly more under 229 8| cause - want of chastity in men.~ ~ This intemperance, so 230 8| in Italy, and Portugal, men attend the levees of equivocal 231 8| To satisfy this genus of men, women are made systematically 232 8| sexes, because the taste of men is vitiated; and women, 233 8| have before observed, that men ought to maintain the women 234 8| person only to be seen by men, to excite respectful sighs, 235 8| would they associate with men who set reputation at defiance.~ ~ 236 8| preserve their reputation, and men their honour. A sentiment 237 9| only to talents and virtue. Men neglect the duties incumbent 238 9| by a ceremonial veil, yet men wonder that the world is 239 9| some degree, independent of men; nay, it is vain to expect 240 9| mean, and selfish, and the men who can be gratified by 241 9| whilst wealth enervates men; and women live, as it were, 242 9| organized which does not compel men and women to discharge their 243 9| affection includes a duty. Men are not aware of the misery 244 9| possible, by them, than men, because men may still, 245 9| them, than men, because men may still, in some degree, 246 9| Women are, in common with men, rendered weak and luxurious 247 9| only the wanton solace of men, when they become so weak 248 9| man; and not of particular men, who filled a niche in the 249 9| marry for a support, as men accept of places under government, 250 9| fain convince reasonable men of the importance of some 251 9| meet for them!~ ~ Would men but generously snap our 252 10| it did appear, how would men smile at the sight of the 253 10| for only good and wise men are content with the respect 254 10| the indispensable duty of men and women to fulfil the 255 12| confined to the society of men and women, they very soon 256 12| entirely under the direction of men, who frequently damp, if 257 12| employed, and treated like men when they are still boys, 258 12| education. Thus to make men citizens two natural steps 259 12| appeal to many superiour men, who were educated in this 260 12| contain a set of weaker men than those who are the slaves 261 12| incidents to which the very men labour to give a droll turn 262 12| dogmatical, or luxurious set of men, than the pedantic tyrants 263 12| society that a few brilliant men should be brought forward 264 12| It is true, that great men seem to start up, as great 265 12| cultivation of modesty, amongst men, produces great depravity 266 12| subsistence, independent of men; in the same manner, I mean, 267 12| by being brought up with men, are prepared to be their 268 12| allowed to observe, that men of the first genius, and 269 12| many other countries, have men been the luxurious despots, 270 12| their society; and do not men of sense continually lament 271 12| debaucheries, which now make men so selfish, or girls rendered 272 12| longer adorn the daughters of men. I am of a very different 273 12| the devils in the shape of men, who goad to madness the 274 12| nonsense, to please the men who flocked round her. The 275 12| by the same pursuits as men. For they are now made so 276 12| acquire sufficient to lead men astray.~ ~ It is plain from 277 12| the virtues of superiour men, will always give women, 278 12| the objects which the very men view with their eyes, who 279 12| enlighten their judgment. Men of fancy, and those sanguine 280 12| women have had over wise men, who possessed sensibility, 281 12| fed and caressed her.~ ~ Men are, however, often gratified 282 12| brought more on a level with men, some superiour woman, like 283 12| courtezans, will assemble the men of abilities around them, 284 12| sex; and in proportion as men acquire virtue and delicacy, 285 12| them in the same way that men do.~ ~ In France or Italy, 286 12| corrupting themselves and the men with whose passions they 287 12| become wise and virtuous, as men become more so; for the 288 12| oppressors, the virtue of men will be worm-eaten by the 289 12| keeps under his feet.~ ~ Let men take their choice, man and 290 12| conversation which made the men forget that they were pretty 291 12| pride, disgusting in both men and women - in what a state 292 12| the advice of some medical men, and deviated from the beaten 293 12| duty by the admiration of men, and the ignorance of others, 294 12| than that of brutes; yet men are unwilling to place women 295 12| and mothers; that is - if men do not neglect the duties 296 13| of mind and body, which men have endeavoured, impelled 297 13| neighbourhood of one of these men, a handsome man, and saw 298 13| question - to reverend old men, to people distinguished 299 13| ought to undertake. Yet the men who laid claim to this privilege, 300 13| improperly; but it is clear that men who will not conform to 301 13| attention to the conduct of men, than that he punished without 302 13| graces of history,* whilst men carry the same vitiated 303 13| barbarous states, only the men not the women adorn themselves; 304 13| be so far on a level with men, society has advanced, at 305 13| cultivation of mind. When men meet they converse about 306 13| which by accident or choice men pursue, and though they 307 13| against each other, for men of the same profession are 308 13| their business to please men; and after, with a few exceptions, 309 13| and even humanity, than men, and their strong attachments 310 13| seldom so much generosity as men;' and that their narrow 311 13| are commonly inspired by men; but I contend that the 312 13| the female world, and that men have a higher sense of justice. 313 13| become sensible mothers. Many men attend to the breeding of 314 13| need only observe, that men who have wasted great part 315 13| refiner of joy! - if foolish men were to fright thee from 316 13| because before marriage, men, by a promiscuous intimacy 317 13| sexual distinction which men have so warmly insisted 318 13| observation, that several sensible men, with whom I have conversed 319 13| chastity to be found amongst men, and consequent disregard 320 13| which women in common with men ought to contend for, I 321 13| inseparable.~ ~ Be just then, O ye men of understanding! and mark
