In this installment, Teen Ben Franklin uses Silence to push back against a male critic - in today's world, we might call him part of the manosphere- when he suggests that she should criticize women for being lazy before turning her ire to men.  Silence turns the tables and shows that men are just as guilty of pride and idleness and are often the cause of a woman's faults.  It's a pretty forward-thinking essay written by a 16-year-old in 1722 with a very modern point of view.
