Thomas Aquinas on women

Aug 25, 2005 05:34 AM

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225 to 1274 CE): 

"As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, 
for the active force in the male seed tends to the production of a 
perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of woman 
comes from a defect in the active force or from some material 
indisposition, or even from some external influence."
