“In the first place, the opinion in favour of the present system, which entirely subordinates the weaker sex to the stronger, rests upon theory only; for there never has been trial made of any other” this quote was one of the main things that stuck out early in the “on the subjugation of women” because it is a straight forward statement which almost sums up the entire paragraph that it is in. I think somebody could write an essay on just this quote alone because even in todays society we still struggle with sexism. I recently had to read an article for my sociology class that not only talks about sexism, but racism in modern day jobs such as target or wal-mart, and I believe that sexism and racism are still present in modern day culture.
