"Divorces led to bodies of men (called legislatures) protecting women collectively as other men (called husbands) failed to protect women individually."

Previous Quote

In Stage I, divorces were not allowed, so men's [sexual] affairs did not put women's economic security in jeopardy; in Stage II, affairs could lead to divorce, so men's affairs did place women's economic security in jeopardy. We did not want political leaders who would be role models for behavior that would put women's economic security in jeopardy.
