She wishes that everybody could comprehend the ramifications of this idea, which is that ladies depend on men for their standard needs. This suggests that females are not capable of providing for themselves, which they are inferior to men.

It is an effective tip that women should not be viewed as inferior to males, and that they ought to be provided the same opportunities and regard as men.
