The male gender is much stronger than the female; but not in the ratio of the earth, but in such a way as the strength of a ten-year-old child relates to the full strength of a man; therefore these moon people are also of the greatest tenderness towards their wives, and literally carry them not only on the hands, but so on the shoulders, so that the feet hang down on both sides of the neck on the chest, for whatever reason two people are always seen there one above the other. – The Moon, Chapter 2, Paragraph 7
