Topic > Essay on Gender Roles of the Victorian Era - 1084
What is natural to both sexes can only be discovered by allowing both to develop and use their faculties. (Mill,1869). Mill wrote The Subjection of Women, which is based on the current law of force, not modern reason. Since no other opinion or point of view has been taught, the subjugation of the “weaker female” over the “stronger Alpha male” is based on an unproven theory. Mill hoped to pioneer a new system of equality based on theory, as no practice of gender equality had yet been adopted.
