Answer:

Women's thoughts are not considered to be as important as men's.

It is normal for men to make generalizations about all women.

Women take care of details that are less important than those that concern men.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of 'trifles' is that of something that is not so important. From the statement made by Mr. Hale, a man, we can see that at that time, women's thoughts were not considered worthy because they worried about 'things of little value'.

The men made generalizations about women as seen from this statement. It's possible that not all women worried about trifles but Mr. Hale did not consider that.

It could also be inferred that women actually took care of less important details.
