He reveals himself even more eventually after saying "why can't a woman be like a man?", then he says " why can't she be like me?" Even though she was a lot like him, he took it a step further and wanted an exact duplicate. That is not even what Jesus Christ meant when he said the two become one flesh. And God made clear there was to be a distinction when he made Eve, and not just in reference to her biological ability to bear children.

Una de las mejores escenas de la cinta My Fair Lady es ésta, donde Rex Harrison, en el estupendo papel del Profesor Henry Higgins, conversa con Wilfried Hyde White, quien hace a su vez el papel del Coronel Pickering, a propósito de: por qué una mujer no puede ser como un hombre? Con una mezcla de ironía y de picardía, traza un bosquejo de la mujer ideal, leal, servicial, no caprichosa ni brava ni voluntariosa. Luego, después de que Pickering se marcha, Higgins conversa con la Señora Pierce, su ama de llaves, y con ella continúa esa disertación hasta que con un gesto altivo toma su sombrero y se marcha, dejando a la Señora Pierce perpleja y asombrada.
