"The women were proposed to be taxed according to their beauty and skill in dressing, wherein they 
had the same privilege with the men, to be determined by their own judgment. But constancy, chastity, 
good sense, and good nature were not rated, because they would not bear the charge of collecting."
Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels, A Voyage to Laputa, Chapter 6, 1726.
