Women of
Home Type
Talk Least

IsBY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
The question of sex equality has
been argued pro and con through
the ages.
Today, as has been wisely said,
most of the feminist talk, the rant
ing about the rights of women, is
done by those who have not borne
children, or not very many at least.
In other words, the woman outside
the home does most of the talking.
1t seems very obvious that the
sexes are distinctly different. Their
functions, their sensibilities, their
ideals, their avocations, cannot be
similar. Women are not and never
can be like men, no matter how
ardently they may take up mascu-
line work.
Women Not Inferior
But. this does not mean that they
are not equal to men. 1t seems a
foolish discrimination to insist that
just because women were designed
by nature to bear children and
manage the home, this automatically
makes them inferior.
Yet from this premise a great
many people argue their point. Not
withstanding the fact that the
bearing and rearing of children is
by all odds the most important OF
all work, still the person who does
this has been taught to believe her.
self in some strange way beneath
man.
Perhaps this is the reason why
the modern woman has rebelled SO
Violently of late. She honestly be-
Neves she can gain a higher status
if she will prove to man that she
can do his own work as well as he
can.
And yet, what will it profit us If
we perform perfectly the work OF
the outside world and fall down on
our own job? *
Children Desired Y
The normal woman, even in this
wild age, wants children, but she
wants them far less keenly because
this female function has so long
been hooked down upon and be-
cause by doing this task she not only
incapacitates herself for a time
from other work, but she is told
that she. is mentally incapable OF
doing other work.
In giving up their birthright fol
a mess of pottage. women are max
ing a mistake that not only affects
them, but will affect the ages
However, one reason they them
selves have come to put such a low
estimate on motherhood and home
making is because it has been adj
vertised as being of an inferior or
der. Once convince them other
wise, once stop talking about then
inferiority, once see the truth thai
they are indeed equal, man anc
woman, each with a duty to per-
form, and perhaps We shall see the
end of masculine women.

had decided his wife Barbara was
