of the University of Chicago, Is out
with an informal declaration, based
on scientific data, that woman was
not intended originally as male
companion, but that man was pri-
marily intended as an assistant to
woman. Here are some of his start
ling declarations:
Life was essentially female. Ma
ture started to make woman the dom
inant force. Women first homestead
ed animals, beginning with man.
Man was originally intended merely
to assist woman in keeping the race
alive. Failing in love is really medi-
tated by woman. Man does the court
ing and woman controls the process.
Man is an easy mark for woman"
