I believe that Bernays' statement from 1928 is a little outdated for today. However, I do feel there is a redeeming notion. It still holds true today for some that the role of the woman is to supplement the man. In today's culture, I believe it would be better stated this way: "The role of women allows men to succeed in the world today by caring for all the tedious details that would not otherwise be given a second thought. This also testifies that women also play the enabling role for men through pleasurable activities." While behind every great man there is a great woman, this does not mean that the woman is inferior to the man.
