The principles are important. First, the interest of the state or society counts for everything, that of the individual for nothing. Second, the only difference between men and women is one of physical function- one begets, the other bears children. Apart from that, they both can and should perform the same functions – though men on a whole, perform them better and should receive the same education to enable them to do so; for in this way society will get the best value from both.
