     Omvendt er mænds formodede biologi og de deraf formodede affødte karaktertræk blevet lagt til grund for, at mænd skulle kæmpe, erobre, eje, styre og herske – især over kvinder.

     Conversely, the presumed biology of men and the character traits presumed to be born hereof have been used as foundation to the notion that men should fight, conquer, own, control and rule - especially over women.

     Men omvendt er det netop lidenskaberne, der i sidste ende begrunder idéassociationen: vi associerer bestemte idéer, fordi sådanne associationer er formålstjenlige for tilfredsstillelsen af vore lidenskaber.

     But conversely, it is precisely the passions that ultimately motivate the association of ideas: we associate certain ideas because such associations are useful for the satisfaction of our passions.
