144. Wenn ein Weib gelehrte Neigungen hat, so ist gewöhnlich Etwas an ihrer Geschlechtlichkeit nicht in Ordnung. Schon Unfruchtbarkeit disponirt zu einer gewissen Männlichkeit des Geschmacks; der Mann ist nämlich, mit Verlaub, „das unfruchtbare Thier“.

144. When a woman has scholarly inclinations, there is usually something amiss with her sexuality. Even barrenness predisposes one to a certain masculinity of taste; for the man is, if you will pardon me, “the barren animal.”

144. Lorsqu’une femme a des inclinations savantes, quelque chose, d’ordinaire, n’est pas en ordre dans sa sexualité. La stérilité prédispose déjà à une certaine masculinité du goût ; car l’homme est, sauf votre respect, « l’animal stérile ».
