Female Goats got beards like the males who then complained to Jupiter. Jupiter said the let them be as they were not as strong or courageous as males.
It matters little if those who are inferior to us in merit should be like us in outside appearances.
Townsend version
The she-goats having obtained a beard by request to Jupiter, the He-Goats were sorely displeased and made complaint that the females equaled them in dignity. “Allow them,” said Jupiter, “to enjoy an empty honor and to assume the badge of your nobler sex, so long as they are not your equals in strength or courage.”
Moral
It matters little if those who are inferior to us in merit should be like us in outside appearances.
