They are sheep running hither and thither in servile imitation of each other, without an original thought amongst them; the froth of society, with the natural tendency of froth to rise to the surface and thence be swept aside; mere bubbles, that shine a moment and then burst. It is fashion that unsexes women and unmakes men.
And yet this condition, which unsexes the man and takes from the woman all womanliness without being able to bestow upon the man true womanliness, or the woman true manliness this condition which degrades, in the most shameful way, both sexes, and, through them, Humanity, is the last result of our much-praised civilisation, the final achievement of all the efforts and struggles of hundreds of generations to improve their own situation and that of their posterity.
For the first time I should follow them beyond the glass door, see what became of them, how they changed from soldiers into patients.... The gallants in the ward don't like a convoy; it unsexes us. Nine o'clock ... ten o'clock.... Another biscuit. Both Germans are asleep now. At last a noise in the corridor, a tramp on the stairs.... Only walkers? No, there's a stretcher and another...!
Cuyler, "that every popular play is immoral, and every attendant is on a scent for sensualities.

It unsexes womanhood by putting her publicly in male attire too often in no attire at all."
