Woman Can Never Be Man’s Equal.

y W OMAN 18 NOT MAN’S EQUAL, NEVER HAS BEEN AND fl fl I NEVER WILL BE. SHE IS THE COMPLEMENT OF MAN, BUT THE LESSER ONE, AS EXPRESSED BY THE TERM “MINUS.” NO ONE DENIES HER GREAT QUALITIES. BUT IF SHE IS ENTITLED TO THE SYMPATHY OF HUMANITY AS SUCH, SHE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE CAPABLE OF UNDERTAKING THE DUTIES OF A CITIZEN. HMM There is a certain class of women of the present day who claim equality with man, and more especially political equality. Now, WOMAN CAN NEVER BE MAN’S EQUAL INTELLECTUALLY, MORALLY OR PHYSICALLY. In nature there is continual warfare, eternal struggle for life, in which the WEAKER GOES TO THE WALL and the stronger comes out on top. By this Ido not only mean the physically stronger or the predominance of brute force, but aho the intellectually and morally stronger, who will always rise above the ruck. And the same law applies in the difference of sexes. Of course woman is more precocious in her development than man; but, then, so are CHIMPANZEES AND ALL INFERIOR RACES. Woman has also a longer body or trunk compared with the lower members than man, in which she likewise is similar to monkeys and children, t . But in the intellectual sphere she not only must remain inferior, but HER INFERIOITY, OR, RATHER, MAN’S SUPERIORITY, MUST INCREASE IF THE RACE IS TO PROGRESS That is the LAW OF EVOLUTION, which has been proved in countless instances by the greatest scientists of the world.
