Stuart Turton. The Devil and the Dark Water (№ 426577)

He [the father] taught me that women are weak creatures whom the Lord has deliberately created to be flawed so that men may valiantly protect them. I thought so until I saw men begging for mercy in the war and their wives rushing at the enemy with hoes defending their land. People are divided into strong and weak, not those who wear pants and a skirt. Before life, everyone is equal.
