While I am not entirely sure how to reword Bernays' statement to make it more applicable and understandable in the 21st century, I do feel that the wording needs to pull away from the perception that women are objects, as Bernays' quote suggests. The first part of the quote, "Just as women supplement men in private life", should be completely left out of the 21st century quote. This suggests that women are nothing but sexual objects who are there to pick up the pieces when men screw up without recognition. Or that women are there to deal with things that men choose not to. The new version of the quote should somehow suggest that men and women are simply different and have different responsibilities. It should be a mutual understanding that what one sex does is just as important as the other.
