“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women.

And energy the child of hell:
The Good Man pouring from his pitcher clear
But brims the poisoned well.”
