Elyot says this in response to Sibyl's declaration about what is suitable for a man and what is suitable for a woman. He believes that Sibyl wants to change him into the masculine archetype (ironically typified by Victor) of a rugged, gentlemanly protector. From how he states his case, he is convinced that Sibyl, despite her innocence, has a natural craftiness granted to women that will gradually manipulate him into being someone he is not in order to satisfy what she believes a man and woman should be.
