Reason in women is a practical reason, capacitating them artfully to discover the means of attaining a known end, but which would never enable them to discover that end itself.
They could literally hang out right next to one for hours, and be unable to make a move until they are what's known as " capacitated, " and go through one last set of changes.
It is not pretence of doing God the greatest service, or performing the weightiest duty, that will excuse the least sin, though that sin capacitated or gave us the opportunity for doing that duty.
