 70    3|           the dispositions of those men to whom she is subject,

 72    3|        system. Women have most wit, men have most genius; women
 73    3|         most genius; women observe, men reason: from the concurrence
 74    3|             of reason, the boast of men, why are women so infatuated
 75    3|          playing on the weakness of men; and they may well glory
 76    3|        indolent and debauched young men, to dissipate their husband'

 87    3|          when they laboured to free men from the wholesome restraints
 88    3|           for themselves.~ ~ Why do men halt between two opinions,
 89    3|       generally allowed to be so by men of all descriptions; whilst
 90    3|         with indifference, by those men who find their happiness

 93    3|        utility, and of that utility men pretend arbitrarily to judge,
 94    4|            heard fall from sensible men in favour of an aristocracy:
 95    4|             and spurn their chains. Men, they further observe, submit
 96    4|             what inconsistencies do men fall when they argue without
 97    4|          Milton.~ ~ Into this error men have, probably, been led

104    4|             bud.~ ~ The passions of men have thus placed women on
105    4|           trivial attentions, which men think it manly to pay to
106    4|       absolutely necessary to raise men from the middle rank of
107    4|          most virtue and abilities. Men have thus, in one station,

109    4|           that to them, as to other men, it must be the purchase

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.' I say the same of women.
116    4|           of body and mind; yet the men who, by their writings,
117    4|             occurs to me; for, when men neglect the duties of humanity,
118    4|           abroad, how can we expect men to be proud of virtue? And,
119    4|            is her sensibility;' and men, not aware of the consequence,
120    4|   imagination, why do philosophical men complain of their fickleness?

122    4|          the question, good sort of men, and give as a favour, what
123    4|   respectable concourse, I contend, men and women, should not have
124    4|           deduced from nature, that men have used morally and physically,
125    4|             to decide whether young men, who are early introduced
126    4|        number of swaggering apes of men, whose understandings are
127    4|         brought into the society of men when they ought to have
128    4|           by some naturalists, that men do not attain their full
129    4|        before thirty, any more than men. The little artless tricks
130    4|             of the noblest species. Men cannot, however, claim any
131    4|              it is evident that the men there, accustomed to polygamy,
132    4|              that the proportion of men to women is nearly equal,
133    4|        prostitution the business of men's lives; though numberless
134    4|             fluctuating feelings of men have been made the standard
135    4|        sides, to observe, how eager men are to degrade the sex from
136    4|         pleasure carry some prudent men, or worn out libertines,
137    4|             only contain angels, or men sunk below the dignity of
138    4|          thoughts to their persons. Men order their thoughts to

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.

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

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,

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
