“Women want mediocre men, and men are working hard to be as mediocre as possible.”

Margaret Mead

Quote magazine (15 June 1958)
1950s
Contesto: When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed. Women want mediocre men, and men are working hard to be as mediocre as possible.

But such communities are not part of the main world.
