Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.

In this quip, Rogers punctures a sentimental, commercialized ideal of women as delicate “flowers” and replaces it with a blunt observation about women’s resilience and willingness to face the same risks men do. The line works as both social satire and a backhanded critique of male self-importance: if men pride themselves on daring enterprises—even destructive ones like war—Rogers suggests women are no less capable of courage, endurance, or participation. The humor depends on exaggeration (“including war”) to expose how cultural narratives of female fragility are manufactured (“advertised”) rather than inherent.
