The ‘Landlady’ Complex Under Examination
By MRS. WALTER: FERGUSON Times Special Writer IT’S NO NEWS that Washington landladies prefer men lodgers. All landladies everywhere seem to share that preference. Maybe the sex of the creatures has something to do with it. Whatever the reason, girls always have a harder time finding living quarters, in whatever section of the & country they & search. This fact puts no extra feathers “in the feminine ¢ cap. Instead, we should ask ourE selves seriously § whether * we deserve the opprobium of the attitude which widespread and general. : Are we harder to get along with than men? Do we make more muss around the house? Are our dispositions bad? Does there exist some instinctive dislike between women, which they themselves do not understand? It would be worth our while to look deep into our natures and discover the truth, although it might not reflect credit on our intelligence. Maybe you won't agree, but it seems to me the landladyish cesnplex stems from an animosity as
,0ld as humanity itself, and as|*
queerly biological as sex. It existed in the female soul long before Jacob had his little trouble over Leah and Rachel, and it probably won't disappear after—the war, 2 2 wn Ny ACTUALLY, the answer is simple. Women enjoy serving men and they hate waiting on other women. The average mother, for example~ will cook and mend and scrub and wash for her boys, coddling them until they become mature and she becomes senile.
But don’t ask her to do the same for her daughters. She won't. Instead, she figures her girls ought to be up and about, doing the same for some man or men of their own. I daresay landladies share in this foolish primitive partiality, so, when it comes to a choice of whom they shall clean up after, they prefer the male every time, although ‘he’s usually twice as disorderly and dirty as the female. This doesn’t. make sense of course. It doesn’t argue that women possess justice, tolerance or sex solidarity. It doesn’t increase our self esteem. It discredits our intelligence, reddens our faces and disturbs our peace of mind. I can't

Eppert. legislative chairman for the state federation, said that the organization feels it unfair that the merit system has been judged under the prevailing wartime conditions.
