Quote #4
Girls who have been thus weakly educated, are often cruelly left by their parents without any provision. (4.43)
Sometimes, a young woman's parents will die and will leave her all alone in the world. And without a husband or an education to fall back on, these women basically have nothing to help them survive. Many of them end up on the street or in the poorhouse, when even a little bit of education might have made them fit for a career.
Quote #5
The management of the temper, the first, and most important branch of education, requires the sober steady eye of reason. (4.55)
The only thing that can teach people to control their emotions is the power of reason. People need to understand why they do things if they're ever going to resist their basic urges. They also need to consider the consequences of their actions and weigh the pros and cons.
Quote #6
For this reason, the education of the women should be always relative to the men. To please, to be useful to us, to make us love and esteem them, to educate us when young, and take care of us when grown up, to advise, to console us, to render our lives easy and agreeable. (5.10)
Jean-Jacques Rousseau believes that God put women on Earth solely for the purpose of pleasing men. That's why he thinks that all women's education should be directed toward pleasing men as much as possible and making their lives easier.
