The Countess realizes she has been found out Gary Sanchez Yankees Jersey , but she refuses to let the men succeed to humiliate her; she does not "become angry or change her behaviour in any way" (Navarre 421).

If one compares male attitudes towards women in The Tale of Genji and The Heptameron, one will see little difference regarding their views of female inferiority and subjectivity to males. The primary difference exists in how the females themselves comprehend their roles in society.

A woman is only justified in opposing male authority if she is not treated with the kindness and consideration that is due to her.
