Examining Negative Quotations that affect women image/dignity/Fundamental Rights

Women have had to struggle to attain and claim what belong to them, due to the fact that the so many demented recoginsed scholars and leaders had deemed it fit to belittle women and make them feel like they don't count in the society. A look at the quotations by some of these demented philosophers below will give you an insights into why women struggle to claim their rightful place in the society is necessary.

1. " Nature intended women to be our slaves. They are our property." -Napolean Bonaparte
2. "Women are nothing but machines for producing children." - Napolean Bonaparte
3. "Women are like elephants. Everyone likes to look at them but no-one likes to have to keep one." - WC Fields
4. "Women should be obscene and not heard." -Groucho Marx
5. "Women's intuition is the result of millions of years of not thinking."- Rupert Hughes
6. "Women: Can't live with them, can't bury them in the back yard without the neighbours seeing." - Sean Williamson
7. "Women should have labels on their foreheads saying, 'Government Health Warning: women can seriously damage your brains, genitals, current account, confidence, razor blades, and good standing among your friends'." Jeffrey Bernard
8. "A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke." - Groucho Marx
9. "The appropriate age for marriage is around eighteen for girls and thirty-seven for men." - Aristotle
10. “So it is naturally with the male and the female; the one is superior, the other inferior; the one governs, the other is governed; and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind” - Aristotle
11. “A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her”- Oscar Wilde
12. “Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship”- Oscar Wilde
13. “Women are made to be loved, not understood” - Oscar Wilde
14. “No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating” - Oscar Wilde
15. "All women become like their mothers, and that's their tragedy. All men don't, and that's theirs." -Oscar Wilde

"Aristotle, maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining his wives' mouths"
From this error in judgement, how can anyone take what he wrote seriously?
Oscar Wilde with all his sayings on women lived on his beloved wife Constance money for a long time. And that afforded him a life of luxury. That was before he was imprisoned for his "gross indecency" with other men.

Here is what Socrates says "My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher."
This just nailed it. It made a lot of things clearer as the interpretation one can give to this is these philosophers that saw nothing good in women or that even believed women to be their slaves were unhappy. Why carrying out this on women?
