by thinking this woman too was just an animal like the rest, so if he loved anybody he would never go to bed with her. He’d go to a whore if he had to and keep the woman he loved free of all that dirty business.
Example of the women’s stereotypical bifurcation - the wife and the whore. The wife has respect, but no sex appeal. The whore has no respect, but possesses the appeal. This stereotype highlights that a woman cannot be respected with sex appeal in the same sense that a man can.
