~ "The female brain has a lesser ranging than that of the male and is on average around 40 grams lighter. This circumstance does not rarely by naturalists been alleged as a proof that females in spiritual respect would be inferior to the male - an absurd claim! They, who would make such a speech, have absolutelly overlooked the important fact that the woman in her physique is inferior to the mans. Taking this circumstance to account, it is easily understood that the womans brain on average is as developed as the mans."
