It's in a later section of the Paris Manuscripts, actually a very interesting discussion about the plascicity of gender and sexual relations. Rather hard to reconcile with the survey he did for Eleanor, in which he stated that his favorite virtue in a woman was "submissiveness." Of course he may have been tweaking his not very submissive daughter. Dads have been known to do that.
