For whom will you order? You, boys, graduate from high school and go to university to never return to your hometown, and marry in the capitals, and the girls stay! For whom will you order them to go out? Well, behind the lack of decent, developed people, and go out God knows for whom, for different makers and pindos, who only know what to drink and scandal in the club. The girls go out like that. What is life after that? You understand yourself, a educated and educated woman lives with a stupid, heavy man; if she meets some intelligent man, officer, actor or doctor, well loves, her life becomes unbearable, she runs away from her husband. And cannot be condemned!
A. P. Chekhov, “The Lights” of 1888.
