Does that mean that, because of this, woman is inferior to the animal?
No.

She is superior (and even to say superior is unjust, she is not superior, she is different), but she has other duties, human duties.

She can restrain herself in the matter of animal love, and transfer her love to the soul of the child.

That is what woman's role should be, and that is precisely what we do not see in our society.

We read of the heroic acts of mothers who sacrifice their children in the name of a superior idea, and these things seem to us like tales of the ancient world, which do not concern us.
