Thomas Aquinas: sexist extraordinaire.

'As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power.' Thomas Aquinas.

For all his intellectual genius, the great man was always capable of having an off day!

Perception?
