It is getting away from the topic, but just to say that isn't what I've read about him. It's probably fair to say, going from the troubles and doubts with his theory we know he had, which weighed heavily on him all through his life, that he wasn't an instinctive revolutionary, and, as such, was hardly the man to initiate Victorian Women's Lib. I'd never presume to defend the man's private life, as that isn't what really interests me most about him. Newton was apparently an absolute shocker of a chap, but his science wasn't too bad.
