In paragraph 5what does the author reveal by comparing the way men and women are represented in history books?

She says that throughout history, women have served as models of inferiority who enlarge the superiority of men: "Šlooking-glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size." Men logically become angry and defensive if women ever criticize them, then, since women cease to be inferior and the men accordingly lose the status of superiority on which they are dependent.
