Part 64 of 152 · 1 min to read the part
In 64, the speaker urges caution toward anyone enraged against us, treating that anger as murderous intent held back only by inability. The argument then connects intimidation and the cold looks of powerful people toward servants with older forms of domination, which it says women preserve more fully than men.

- The speaker claims that women preserve this old practice more fully than men.
