“
Wanita tidak berperan dalam budaya tinggi Athena. Mereka tidak bisa memilih, menghadiri teater, atau berjalan dalam filosofi stoa speaking. Tetapi orientasi laki-laki dari budaya Yunani tidak dapat dipisahkan dari kejeniusannya. Athena menjadi hebat bukan meskipun tetapi karena kebencian terhadap wanita. Asli: Women played no part in Athenian high culture. They could not vote, attend the theatre, or walk in the stoa talking philosophy. But the male orientation of Greek culture was inseparable of its genius. Athens became great not despite but because of its misogyny.
— Camille Paglia
