About This Quote

The author of this quote, J.J. Rousseau, was a French philosopher. The idea of women being superstitious is common in many cultures around the world. The quote he said when he was asked about the superstitious thoughts in women’s minds.

He claimed that the female body reacts to the universe’s direction much quicker than a male body does. This means that a woman can get a feeling that something bad might happen before something good does happen. This could be because of a premonition or because she has a strong intuition about what is going to occur.

In many cases, this superstitious behavior leads to people losing their money and their lives.
