Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him<br>Must command but may not govern; shall enthrall but not enslave him.<br>And She knows, because She warns him and Her instincts never fail,<br>That the female of Her species is more deadly than the male!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Rudyard+Kipling">Rudyard Kipling</a><div class=q>

He shouts to scare the monster who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail,
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
