IN DEFENSE OF WOMEN. by II. T.
Mencken. New York: Philip Good

In his defense of women MIR. Memo
ken's method is. first, to render the
women insensible. He anaesthetizes
them with flattery. This is given
with the ponderous impressiveness OF
pure reason. Its specific purport is
that yoman's mental furniture Is
vastly superior to that of men. that
it Is infinitely better adjusted to the
needs of a troubled world than IS that
of the male human. With the women
sound asleep under this treatment,
Mencken turns around and tells the
men what he conccives to be the real
truth about these sleeping partners.
Courtship, marriage. sexuality, domes-
ITCHY. business, suffrage, with pundie
of odds-and-ends of venerable tradi-
tons and illusions thrown in. furnish
the vehicle for these pronouncements.
The manner is of the pure Menckenlan
brand-a variant of the Bernard Shaw
style-impish, daring. shocking (and
happy to be shocking), with q smart 2,
chief effect of the wl,ble scandalous
exposure Is that it is SO outrageously
true. al
