Females are given the role of nurturing and rearing their children, among other functions such as domestic management. The role of the female as nurturer and domestic helper in the Huouyhnhnm society is because the horse creatures are not willing to entrust the care of their children to the Yahoos, who act as servants of the Huoyhnhnms. Among the European Yahoos, which Gulliver belongs to, the stereotypical female remains a fixture. That is, females remain subservient to males, and are considered 'objects' to be used or individuals to be detested, as Gulliver described females as either nagging wives or "that prostitute female Yahoos acquired a certain malady, which bred rottenness in the bones who fell into their embraces."
