131

The sexes deceive themselves about each other: this happens because basically they honour and love only themselves (or, to put the matter more pleasantly, only their own ideal -). Hence the man wants the woman to be peaceful - but woman, like a cat, is essentially not peaceful, however much she may have practised an appearance of peacefulness.
