the wasp factory
i've been reading this book for quite some time, now.. and the ways in which frank describes women is deeply intriguing.
"We didn't want them to be smart, and to some extent their aggression and their intelligence went together. Of course, the rams are brighter, but even they are demeaned by the idiotic females they have to associate with and inseminate. The same principle applies to chickens and cows and almost anything we've been able to get our greedy, hungry hands on for long enough. It occasionally occurs to me that something the same might have happened to women but, attractive though the theory might be, I suspect I'm wrong."
in this instance, he is discussing sheeps, and how idiotic they are.. but they have just become a product of domestication, and he believes the same thing has happened to women overtime.
