1 1| spirit - I plead for my sex - not for myself. Independence 2 Int| the understanding of the sex has been so bubbled by this 3 Int| equality or inferiority of the sex; but as the subject lies 4 Int| excepted; but, addressing my sex in a firmer tone, I pay 5 Int| it introduces.~ ~ My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, 6 Int| regardless of the distinction of sex; and that secondary views 7 Int| and, anxious to render my sex more respectable members 8 Int| still reckoned a frivolous sex, and ridiculed or pitied 9 Int| the present conduct of the sex, from the prevalent fondness 10 Int| by prejudices that give a sex to virtue, and confound 11 Int| that I now speak of the sex in general. Many individuals 12 2| follies and caprices of our sex, when they do not keenly 13 2| ridicule.* Like the fair sex, the business of their lives 14 2| to insinuate, that either sex should be so lost in abstract 15 2| collectively of the whole sex; but I see not the shadow 16 2| the name of the whole male sex,~ ~ 'Yet ne'er so sure our 17 2| the most gentle of their sex.~ ~ Nature, or, to speak 18 2| cardinal virtues of the sex; and, disregarding the arbitrary 19 2| melioration of temper, the sex is not much benefited by 20 2| satirist, considering the sex as the weakest as well as 21 2| orbit prescribed to their sex, were male spirits, confined 22 2| philosophical to think of sex when the soul is mentioned, 23 2| determine where the whole sex must stand in the intellectual 24 2| render them more pleasing, a sex to morals.~ ~ Further, should 25 2| notions that enslave my sex.~ ~ I love man as my fellow; 26 2| subjection in which the sex has ever been held, it retorts 27 3| which the superiority of the sex can be built. But I still 28 3| do every thing which her sex will not enable her to do 29 3| seldom found in the female sex. As soon as she was sufficiently 30 3| qualities of the female sex that our own domestic comforts 31 3| allowance should be made for a sex, who, like kings, always 32 3| of a desire to please the sex on which they are dependent. 33 3| paradox.~ ~ Yet thus to give a sex to mind was not very consistent 34 3| together, if the distinction of sex was not inculcated long 35 3| elegant formers of the fair sex would insinuate.~ ~ The 36 3| descanting on the folly of the sex, let him not overlook his 37 3| gratify a predominant one, the sex is degraded by a physical, 38 3| sexes; the boldness of one sex and the timidity of the 39 3| bloom of life forgets her sex - forgets the pleasure of 40 4| unanimously allowed that sex is out of the question; 41 4| reared, which robs the whole sex of its dignity, and classes 42 4| causes that degrade the sex, and prevent women from 43 4| insolent respect to the sex, with the most scrupulous 44 4| puerile attention to the whole sex, obtained in his reign that 45 4| his authority and her sex, ever stand between them 46 4| think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, they are 47 4| to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless 48 4| creature; but the whole female sex are, till their character 49 4| be applied to the female sex. I refer the sagacious reader 50 4| this prove that there is a sex in souls? It would be just 51 4| the condition of the whole sex, leaving exceptions out 52 4| be confined to the fair sex; however, at present, I 53 4| the more they resemble our sex the less power will they 54 4| woman on account of her sex, and respect her, because 55 4| physically, to degrade the sex. I must notice a few.~ ~ 56 4| eager men are to degrade the sex from whom they pretend to 57 4| attractions beside that of sex. Add to this, sedentary 58 4| and manners of the whole sex, and to me it appears clear 59 5| more cursory manner, on the sex, remain now to be examined.~ ~ 60 5| nature has given to the sex.~ ~ He then proceeds to 61 5| first seducer of my frail sex.~ ~ 'It being once demonstrated,' 62 5| peculiar destination of the sex, observe their inclinations, 63 5| is different. In the one sex it is the developement of 64 5| confined exclusively to one sex; but only that the order 65 5| they are grown up? Each sex has also its peculiar taste 66 5| is inseparable from their sex; nor do they ever throw 67 5| but it is just that this sex should partake of the sufferings 68 5| dependence being natural to the sex, they perceive themselves 69 5| meliorate the temper; for, as a sex, men have better tempers 70 5| troublesome companions.~ ~ 'Each sex,' he further argues, 'should 71 5| a talent natural to the sex; and, as I am persuaded, 72 5| peculiar to the female sex, is a very equitable indemnification 73 5| authority over his heart as his sex gives him over your person, 74 5| carried him toward the other sex with such eager fondness, 75 5| insidiously degrade the sex whilst they are prostrate 76 5| being made to consider the sex of their companions? Must 77 5| the individual, not the sex; but should a grave preacher 78 5| be observed, that in your sex manly exercises are never 79 5| most respectable part of my sex, I cannot silently pass 80 5| heartless attention to the sex is reckoned so manly, so 81 5| the behaviour of the whole sex should be modulated to please 82 5| distinction, which many of your sex are not aware of.'-~ ~ This 83 5| consciousness that degrades the sex. Excepting with a lover, 84 5| proved fatal to many of your sex.' With this opinion I perfectly 85 5| the individual, not the sex, that are received and returned 86 5| I would fain persuade my sex to act from simpler principles. 87 5| understanding of the whole sex affronted, and their virtue 88 5| sentiments of too many of my sex, may serve as the text for 89 5| rights foreign to their sex, how has he for ever restored 90 5| virtues and errors, of their sex, his respect for their persons 91 5| with the weakness of her sex. In her style of writing, 92 5| style of writing, indeed, no sex appears, for it is like 93 6| been levelled against the sex, and they have been ridiculed 94 6| inspire passion. Half the sex, in its present infantine 95 7| reason, till I rouse my sex from the flowery bed, on 96 7| reminded by word or look of my sex, of the absurd rules which 97 7| november frowns.~ ~ As a sex, women are more chaste than 98 7| be termed respect for the sex? No, this loose behaviour 99 7| sensual fondness for the sex, or an affectation of manly 100 7| fancy, the favourites of the sex, who outwardly respect and 101 7| cautions respecting the other sex naturally engender, I should 102 7| human nature of their own sex, in these particulars, will 103 7| respect the mere difference of sex in their husbands? After 104 7| the idea of home.~ ~ As a sex, women are habitually indolent; 105 8| one thing needful to the sex. But vain is the scrupulosity 106 8| believe that few of either sex were ever despised for certain 107 8| venomous rancour of their own sex.'~ ~ But, in proportion 108 8| affects a devoted part of the sex - devoted for the salvation 109 8| the chaster part of the sex, is undermined by the conduct 110 8| heartless intercourse with the sex, which they allow themselves, 111 8| pursues the crime in the other sex. These are the physical 112 9| for a short time over the sex, they neglect to stamp impressions 113 9| difficulties peculiar to her sex to overcome, which require 114 9| of the inferiority of the sex, Rousseau has exultingly 115 9| the former delicacy of the sex be effaced from the language.~ ~ 116 9| impress this truth on my sex; yet I fear that they will 117 9| the privileges of rank and sex for the privileges of humanity, 118 9| claim, in the name of my sex, some interest in their 119 12| be extended to the other sex, till the natural inference 120 12| peculiar duties of their sex, till they become enlightened 121 12| endeavoured to degrade the sex. And why was he thus anxious? 122 12| the common level of her sex; and therefore he laboured 123 12| sensibility was confined to one sex, nay, to one man, it requires 124 12| raised by the weakness of her sex; and in proportion as men 125 12| emancipation of the whole sex, for I know that the behaviour 126 12| that of the rest of their sex, has often been over-bearing; 127 12| contemporaries, and some of the other sex. Nay, has not a little rationality 128 12| that when I wish to see my sex become more like moral agents, 129 13| the peculiar duty of their sex: for when weakness of body 130 13| throws an odium on your sex! And these reflections should 131 13| therefore, I advise my sex not to read such flimsy 132 13| women never forget their sex in company, for they are 133 13| of the inferiority of the sex, because it is the natural 134 13| often sacrificed, render the sex apparently inferior, especially, 135 13| the meanest opinion of the sex. - Virtue, true refiner
