One of my favorite sayings.. (Artifact 5)

It may be a mistake, that man, in a state of nature, is more disposed to cruelty than courtesy.

  1. Do you mean that men experience cruelty more than courtesy, or are men more likely to be cruel than courteous? If the latter then I find this totally hypocritical and false. Men are often misinterpreted in their ways and natural manner of which women especially often approach in offense. I myself have six brothers and am surrounded in society by men. While I will not condone the fact that men are nevertheless an entirely different composition than us women, we should not judge their regularly precarious-taken conduct.

  2. I agree with Jane, if it is the latter, not all men are this way. Like me, give me a chance, I won't dissapoint!

  3. While it is true that men are stereotypically shown with a violent disposition, not all men fit that mold. The same is proven by Mrs.Warren herself who dose not fit the stereotyped mold portrayed by women of that era either.
