About This Quote
The idea that a woman is nothing but an ego and a man nothing but another ego is a common misconception. In fact, the idea that a woman and a man are absolutely the same is false. There is a vital difference between the two genders. The modern world has become so inundated with propaganda from both biology and society that men have been indoctrinated to believe that women are nothing more than dolls to play with. This misconception has been so widely believed that it has become a belief system in itself, just as many people hold the notion that there was no real difference between men and women before the dawn of modern-day feminism.
