wmmmmmmmmmmmsm PHASE of the inevitable readjust ment of ALL THE RELATIONS of men and women now taking place all over the world. Feminism demands the removal of ALL DISQUALIFICATIONS basqd upon SEX. It asks for a single stand ard of BRAINS and MORALS as well as of votes. It includes suffragism, of course, but the woman who is a suffragist without being a feminist can see ho further than the end of nose and it's a very insignificant lit tle nose! The ''antis" dwell with extraor dinary insistence on our demand f6r a single moral standard. They as sume that men and women CAN'T have the same moral standard and have any morals at all! I should hate to think so poorly of men as those women do who consider themselves unfit for political equality but "who nevertheless regard moral equality as a menace to their chastity! They have said that feminists de mand an equal right with men to "sow their wild oats." Why, if every prohibition of morals and conven tion were suddenly removed from wo man and she were to receive by gen eral consent the oat-sowing privilege, the world would find that she would sow not oats, but laurels, and savory sage and mint, all garden herbs that minister to the menu of a strictly monogamous family's Sunday din ner! There is no use in pretending that woman's nature is or could be as un restrained as man's in any sex re lation. Woman's passions have been In cold storage for so long that it is idle, to speculate as to what they were before she was made to realize BY MAN that HER livelihood and honor, the legitimacy and protection of HER children, depended upon HER SELF-RESTRAINT! The prohibitions of man have be come today the inhibitions of wo man, the things that he forbade her are now the things she forbids herself! The 'feminist will not "descend to the level of men's" moral -standard; she saysto men "Comfej dyvell with' me on the mountairpD,vin the purity of'a vir gin love.',tAnd the"young men. the generation, born of awakened moth ers have "heatd and answered her!
