This author claimed that flirtatious women
are interested in men as an end in itself-noth-
ing more!
That is, to put it plainly and shockingly,
such women are intensely selfish and care only
The mother types, on the other hand, are
supposed to like men in quite a different way.
Their love and affection is projected towards
men as a means to an end, and that end invari-
ably is motherhood.
Thus to make a sharp cleavage and to infer
from it that any woman is either a coquette OF
a mother, is manifestly unfair and inaccurate.
Nevertheless, Observation-Disclosures proper

more speculation than the mutual attitude and
