About this Quote

Agnes Smedley's quote speaks with the concept that the roles and responsibilities of males in society are not clearly specified. She recommends that the roles of guys, as they are currently understood, are mainly artificial and constructed by society. This implies that the functions of men are not necessarily natural or predetermined, but rather are formed by the expectations of society. This quote also recommends that there is still much to be explored and comprehended about the functions of men in society. It implies that the roles of males are not fixed, but rather are continuously developing and altering. This quote encourages us to think critically about the roles of guys in society and to question the assumptions that have actually been made about them. Eventually, it encourages us to explore and redefine the roles of men in society in order to produce a more equitable and simply society.
