Tocqueville states that women in Europe are treated as women, delicate, feminine, and almost prize like. The contrast to this in America, it is seen as a crime to make a woman less than a man, to say that she is unable to do the work or jobs of a man is an insult, not just to her, but to all of America's women. Tocqueville says that American democracy is becoming 'more and more equal of man' which could be seen as the fact that we are making women equal to men, not the other way around. To say that a woman is less than a man is an insult, but to say that a man is less than a woman is laughed at, seen as impossible in the first place and therefore not necessary to be taken seriously. The difference in American and European treatment of women doesn't exactly present itself as being vastly different, however the real differences are shocking.
