"You! My dear, women do not generally go." (2.8.7)
One unfortunate custom of Victorian England was that women were generally not supposed to go to funerals. The fear was that women were too emotional and would ruin the solemn occasion by crying too loudly. This is one of those moments where you wish you had a time machine so you could go into the past and punch the people who enforced these kinds of views right in the nose.
