If women’s disability was limited to counting no more than three, then the social destiny of women could be carefully examined scientifically.
But there is ambiguity, and the limits of fluctuation are really wider than can be deduced from the similarity of women’s wig makeup and popular prose and poetic love letters … “And his kind tricks tremble for unfulfilled goodness and are scattered among all sorts of obstacles, instead of focusing on something that will be remembered for a long time.”
