Sherlock Holmes and misoginy
Sherlock Holmes stories are fun. Arthur Conan Doyle made him the most misogynistic beast in Literature and here you have, with all my irony, a selection of quotes of the detective talking about gender:
A man always finds it hard to realise that he may have finally lost a womans love, however badly he may have treated her. (The Musgrave Ritual)
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting (A Scandal in Bohemia).
When a woman thinks that her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing she values most A married woman grabs at her baby; an unmarried one reaches for her jewel-box. (A Scandal in Bohemia)
