To others, it was a delicacy yet to him a symbol of oppression. What was the delicacy and who was he?

@luda4cris,
This one has done the rounds on multiple forums.

It looks like it may be a quotation from a Victorian melodrama in which women who were labelled "delicate" were recognized by some "enlightened hero" as a rationalization of their social oppression.
