can men, Mr. Congressman? For feelings of inferiority are seldom inherent in individuals or groups. They are created by circumstance. If men really desire women to take a more active and intelligent part in government they will change their own attitudes at once. Heretofore those attitudes have been so discouraging that they create a barrier to American progress. Before they got the vote, and ever since, women have been subjected to insulting disregard for their opinions and citizenship rights by some of our most intelligent men. So far we have mighty little to say about the conduct of the war, and unless great changes take place we shall probably be allowed to say no more about the making of the peace.
” ” ” THE MEN always yell for us to vote before the elections, but the two parties have given their feminine members only a minimum of authority in the shaping of policies. When they are invited to serve on boards, or sit in at directors’ meetings, or take part in municipal affairs, women are made to feel that they are included for decorative purposes; their invitations come as a patronizing gesture. The gentlemen realize that justice compels our presence, but they always see to it that we know our place and keep ‘it. Mr. Monroney believes that women fail to write as often as they should to their senators and representatives because ‘they are timid—and why are we timid? Because experience has taught us that whatever we say will be regarded as unimportant by male groups. Having been trained in the belief that women are incapable of reasoning, the average American man sticks to his bland assumption that his sex alone is all knowing and all wise, ° Congres;men are not so sure about that, because women have the power to vote them out of office. I think Mr. Monroney serves well the cause, of democracy when he urges us to write to Washington. Let’s all take him up on it.
