uselessgirlrage:

O pedants of these later days, who go on undiscerning,
To overload a woman’s brain and cram our girls with learning,
You’ll make a woman half a man, the souls of parents vexing,
To find that all the gentle sex this process is unsexing.
Leave one or two nice girls before the sex your system smothers,
Or what on earth will poor men do for sweethearts, wives, and mothers?

-Punch (May 10, 1884)
