Explanation:

1. Hale's comment frames women's concerns as "trifles" (low-value matters), implying their thoughts/concerns were seen as less important than men's in that era.
2. His broad statement "women are used to worrying over trifles" is a generalization about all women, reflecting a common male attitude of the time.
3. The definition of "trifles" and Hale's remark imply women focused on details that men dismissed as unimportant, while men prioritized what they viewed as significant.

Answer:

• Women's thoughts are not considered to be as important as men's.
• It is normal for men to make generalizations about all women.
• Women take care of details that are less important than those that concern men.
