Document Summary
Wild things well then: as erotic beings, they did appetitive things, actions were in order so the punishment they did was not. Procreation/sharing quote brought up by polemarchus, relatively glad that he has outgrown his libido. Like guard dogs, females should guard and fight along with the males: receive the education, military/physical/musical training, But men and women are different, how can they be assigned the same job: different natures must have different pursuits. Eristic vs. dialectic: eristic aims at scoring points goddess of strife, eris. Trojan war story: dialectic aims at uncovering the truth. Looks at differences that matter, not just verbal differences. Male and female guardians only difference is who mounts who and who bears the children. No difference in the predisposition of their souls and that"s what matters. No role in the management of the city that is better for males or females because of their sex.
