> now the soft voiced gentle woman of my reverent worship has all but vanished. in her place has come the woman who thinks that her chief success in life lies on making herself as much as possible like man - in dress, voice, and actions, in sports and achievements of every kind. the world has experience many tragedies, but to my mind the greatest tragedy of all is the present economic condition wherein women strive against men, and in many cases actually succeed in usurping their places in the professions and in industry. this growing tendency of women to overshadow the masculine is a sign of a deteriorating civilization. > practically all the great achievements of man until now have been inspired by his love and devotion to woman. man has aspired to great things because some woman believed in him, because he wished to command her admiration and respect. for these reasons he has fought for her and risked his life and his all for her time and time again. > perhaps the male in society is useless. i am frank to admit that i don't know. if women are beginning to feel this way about it - and there is striking evidence at hand that they do - then we are entering upon the cruelest period of the world's history. > our civilization will sink to a state like that which is found among the bees, ants, and other insects - a state wherein the male is ruthlessly killed off. in this matriarchal empire which will be established, the female rules. as the female predominates, the males are at her mercy. the male is considered important only as a factor in the general scheme of the continuity of life. > the tendency of women to push aside man, supplanting the old spirit of cooperation with him in all the affairs of life, is very disappointing to me." god i hope that's real.
