But do you feel, if girls could have their eyes trained to nature from an early age, they would not be burdened with this exhausting vendetta, as you call it?”
This seems to be commentary on the world's self-serving male dominated social hierarchy, misogyny and the partiarchial order; for women to develop a healthier sense of self, intellectual confidence, independence from male dominance and a stronger connection to the natural world. The vendetta refers to (in this story) womens' unsubstantiated fear of spiders. Further that, with intellectual confidence they are likely to understand our universe better and be less afraid, and free from the confines of men who use these fears to subjugate them.
