>It is natural for a feeling of mere indifference to exist between men, but between women it is actual enmity. This is due perhaps to the fact that odium figulinum in the case of men, is limited to their everyday affairs, but with women embraces the whole sex; since they have only one kind of business. Even when they meet in the street, they look at each other like Guelphs and Ghibellines.
This is interesting, and reminds me of my ignorance.
I can see that it might have been the case.
Women have been in the position of being either damned whores or God's police for quite a while, I would guess.
