The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved.
Interpretation
The liberation of women benefits everyone, including men, as true freedom cannot exist in a system of oppression.
This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness of freedom between genders. It suggests that the liberation of women not only empowers them but also leads to a greater sense of freedom for men, indicating that oppression of any group ultimately limits the freedom of all. When one group is oppressed, all individuals within that society are affected, as the social fabric is weakened by such injustice.

Therefore he descended from heaven into this humility and came to us in our flesh, laid himself into the womb of his mother and into the manger and went on to the cross. This was the ladder that he placed on earth so that we might ascend to God on it. This is the way you must take.
It is the part of a Christian to take care of his own body for the very purpose that, by its soundness and wellbeing, he may be enabled to labour, and to acquire and preserve property, for the aid of those who are in want, that thus the stronger member may serve the weaker member, and we may be children of God, and busy for one another, bearing one another's burdens, and so fulfiling the law of Christ.
