frenchrapemeat:

• “Both nature and the law place the woman in a subordinate condition to the man” Irenaeus,Fragment no 32.
• “It is the natural order among people that women serve their husbands and children their parents, because the justice of this lies in (the principle that) the lesser serves the greater … This is the natural justice that the weaker brain serve the stronger. This therefore is the evident justice in the relationships between slaves and their masters, that they who excel in reason, excel in power.” (Augustine,Questions on the Heptateuch, Book I, § 153.
