"The most mediocre of males feels himself a demigod as compared with women"
Simplified meaning
Even a very average man often thinks he's much better than women. It's like he believes he's a superhuman compared to them. For example, think of a man who doesn't have a great job or special talents. Despite this, he might still think he's more important or smarter than a woman who is highly skilled and successful. This attitude can be seen in workplaces where men interrupt women or dismiss their ideas, believing they know better just because they are men. To apply this advice, people should recognize and challenge their own biases and ensure they respect and value everyone's abilities and opinions equally, regardless of gender. This can lead to more equal and fair treatment for everyone.
