Due to this same fact, there is no gender or racia .....

Similarly, the Brobdingnagians find Gulliver's culture to be too violent for the size of its people, and Gulliver's pride in describing the English is offset by his puniness. Swift characterizes the giants of Book II to be imperfect but extremely moral, possibly the ideal for how a society could be in Swift's (or our) time.
