Quote #10
Remember, dear ladies, how these men call you frail, unserious, and easily influenced but yet try hard, using all kinds of strange and deceptive tricks, to catch you, just as one lays traps for wild animals. (3.19.6)
Men treat women like wild animals to be trapped. But women who are careful and rational can see right through these tricks and keep these men away. Notice how de Pizan is constantly casting men as predators and women as prey.
