Men belonged in the public sphere, while women belonged in the private sphere. Men were meant to participate in politics and in paid work, while women were meant to run households and raise families.

    A vampire is a monster in human form. A vampire feeds on the blood of humans with its fangs. Vampires have been featured in folklore and fiction of various cultures for hundreds of years. Vampires are “undead” — revived after death — and rise nightly from their graves or coffins.

    A vampire is killed if a wooden stake is driven through its heart and its head is cut off. A vampire's power ceases at the coming of the day. At that time the vampire must seek refuge in his coffin. A vampire or its coffin must rest on their native soil. A vampire is sensitive to sunlight (not light from other sources). Sunlight causes blistering sores on the skin of a vampire. A vampire has a strong aversion to garlic. The smell is nauseous and repugnant to a vampire. A vampire is unable to enter a place for the first time unless invited to do so by someone of the household A vampire can only cross running water at low or high tide. Owing to this, a vampire is unable to fly across a river in the form of a bat or mist or even board or step off a boat onto a dock unless assisted. A vampire can not stand the sight of christian symbols, like crosses and holy water. It is a phobia, an irrational fear that has no actual effect. Therefore religious signs on tombstones has no effect, but a cross in the hands of a priest makes a vampire flee in fear.

    A vampire casts no reflection in mirrors or other reflective areas. A vampire does not cast a shadow. A vampire can transform into a bat or a wolf for short periods of time. A vampire has superhuman strength, the strength of several men together. A vampire is able to climb vertical surfaces, even upside down in a reptilian manner. A vampire is able to manipulate the weather and is able to direct the elements, such as storms, fog and mist. A vampire has hypnotic powers and can dominate weaker minds by telepathy.
