In Plato's The Republic, Socrates argues for equal treatment and education of males and females. He based his arguments on nonhuman animals like female dogs. #bitches #bitch #equality #feminism #intersectionality #dogs #dog www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/...

Socrates: "Are dogs divided into hes and shes, or do they both share equally in hunting and in keeping watch and in the other duties of dogs? Or do we entrust to the males the entire and exclusive care of the flocks, while we leave the females at home, under the idea that the bearing and suckling of their puppies is labor enough for them?" Glaucon: "No, they share alike; the only difference between them is that the males are stronger and the females weaker." Socrates: "But can you use different animals for the same purpose, unless they are bred and fed in the same way?" Glaucon: "You cannot." Socrates: "Then, if women are to have the same duties as men, they must have the same nurture and education?" Glaucon: "Yes." — Plato, The Republic (Book V, 451d–452a, translated by Benjamin Jowett)
