The Victorian Ideals of Men and Women

Aristotle didn't say women were inferior, but the Victorians ramped up the inferiority complex. The Victorian norms informed his idea of the sexes. And so when he came to define them, he branded the female of the species in the shape of a Victorian housewife because that was what was seemingly at the time. That zoology in particular is really vulnerable to cultural bias. It's astonishing to me. If a scientist as brilliant and meticulous as Darwin can be influenced by culture, then all science is vulnerable to it.
