The Dashwood Case

“John had been called to his father´s house. Henry was dying. John did not feel any sorrow inside. They had had many differences. He remembered his mother´s death, his father´s marriage after just a year and his new sisters. No, he thought. He could not feel love for him. As he came near the bed he observed the shaking hands of the diseased man. He looked more fragile than he used to remember him. 

- “Promise me that you will take care of your sisters, John”!
Something inside John made him tremble. His mother had loved this man. He could help his sisters even though he did not feel any attachment to them.
Giving some money to them could not diminish his patrimony substantially. Just a couple of thousand pounds and they could live quietly.” (My own fictional version of part of Sense and Sensibility)

Opinions

In spite of his former intention to give the girls some money to provide for their needs, John´s wife convinced him that he had no obligations towards them. No one would argue against his decision and the girls could marry some rich tenants.
The questions is: What could have happened if the one in charge of supplying the money were a woman? Doesn´t John show a poor representation of a man? Are women stronger than men?
My answer is yes and yes again. Women are the ones in power. But that is what I think. That is my theory. Do you agree?
