De Tocqueville

There are Europeans who confuse the various characteristics of the sexes and would make of men and women beings not only equal but alike. To both, they attribute the same functions equally, impose on them the same duties and grant them the same rights. They would involve them both in everything - work, pleasure, business. It is easy to see that, in this ambition to make the one sex equal to the other, both are demeaned and that, from this crude mixing of nature’s works, will emerge weak men and immodest women.

-Alexis De Tocqueville, Democracy In America, Pt. 3, Ch. 12 - published in 1835

“… a man goes to a prostitute not to fall in love but to empty his sack and a wife shouldn’t be too bothered by it. There’s no interference with their relationship- particularly as there’s a fee involved. If money’s changing hands, it’s not an affair of the heart.” - Alex Cobra
