"Women serve but to keep a man from better company"

- William Wycherley

About this Quote

This quote by William Wycherley indicates that ladies are not as valuable as men, which they are only helpful for keeping guys far from much better company. This suggests that guys must not be hanging around with ladies, as they are not as excellent as other individuals. It suggests that ladies are not as essential or as valuable as males, and that they are just useful for keeping guys away from much better company. This quote is reflective of the patriarchal society of the time, where ladies were viewed as inferior to guys and were not provided the same rights or opportunities. This quote is an example of how females were seen in the past, and how they were not viewed as equals to males. It is a pointer of how far society has actually been available in terms of gender equality, and how far we still have to go.
