If Men Will Not Do

It Always Seems To Me When The Anti-suffrage Members Of The Government Criticise Militancy In Women That It Is Very Like Beasts Of Prey Reproaching The Gentler Animals Who Turn In Desperate Resistance When At The Point Of Death.

The Whole Argument With The Anti-suffragists, Or Even The Critical Suffragist Man, Is This: That You Can Govern Human Beings Without Their Consent.

You Must Make Women Count As Much As Men; You Must Have An Equal Standard Of Morals; And The Only Way To Enforce That Is Through Giving Women Political Power So That You Can Get That Equal Moral Standard Registered In The Laws Of The Country. It Is The Only Way.

Often I Have Heard The Taunt That Suffragists Are Women Who Have Failed To Find Any Normal Outlet For Their Emotions, And Are Therefore Soured And Disappointed Beings. This Is Probably Not True Of Any Suffragist, And It Is Most Certainly Not True Of Me. My Home Life And Relations Have Been As Nearly Ideal As Possible In This Imperfect World.

How Different The Reasoning Is That Men Adopt When They Are Discussing The Cases Of Men And Those Of Women.
