She never could learn or understand anything before she was taught; and sometimes not even then, for she was often inattentive, and occasionally stupid. Her mother was three months in teaching her only to repeat the “Beggar’s Petition”; and after all, her next sister, Sally, could say it better than she did.
Interesting.. so how about what she thinks about things? ...is she naive?

What caused him to hold such a grudge against women? Or is it because he wants to feel superior? Or perhaps a mental illness? It bothers me that his behavior and thoughts and everything about him is so gross and disturbing.

Wou’d have you all be wits, or what is better, Wise.
The quoted says that a woman must have something noticeable about her, whether it be wits or beauty. A woman's personality did not matter, even though that was what set the stage on how relationships with the woman were. People of those times were more vain when it came to judging (mansplaining) what/who a woman should be/do.
