[Women] are superior beings to us men. When they love us, then they are being gracious, for only rarely do we give them reason to love us. I learned that from your mother, and she's right. Sad to say, she's right.

About This Quote

As we grow up we tend to form opinions about certain topics. We may not always understand the finer points of those subjects, but we often form our own opinions anyway. We may not realize that we’re doing it, but we’re actually forming opinions based off other people’s views and experiences. In the quote from the movie Gladiator , Russell Crowe says this to his son.

His son has been listening to a teacher give a speech about women and how they are superior beings to men. In this case, the teacher is right. Women are superior beings, but you’d never guess that from how often men treat them poorly.

Talking bad about them to your son doesn’t make you look good – it makes you look like a jerk who doesn't understand how girls think.
