Answer 1

Wilde is lampooning in his comments on men's sacrifices that women go through the pain of childbirth and men do not.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish-born writer, poet, and playwright who stands out as one of the most prominent playwrights of the 19th century.

One of his most famous plays is The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People, a comedy that satirizes the customs and thoughts of contemporary society.

In one of his scenes, Wilde satirizes and compares the sacrifices of men and women by saying that

• How absurd to speak of gender equality! When it comes to matters of self-sacrifice, men are infinitely beyond us.

This line is a satire because it refers to a figurative meaning since women go through the pain of childbirth and men do not.
