And since both the indoor and the outdoor tasks demand
 labour and attention, God from the first adapted the
 woman’s nature, I think, to the indoor and man’s to
 the outdoor tasks and cares. 
 For he made the man’s
 body and mind more capable of enduring cold and
 heat, and journeys and campaigns; and therefore
 imposed on him the outdoor tasks. To the woman,
 since he has made her body less capable of such
 endurance, I take it that God has assigned the
 indoor tasks.
