sary. The philosophers have fig
ured out why women behave this
way. and although no woman
may agree with them, I'll let you
in on the theory just as man to
man. The attitude is built UP
like this:
/. Every child is dependent
on others to get what he wants,
He has to keep after somebody
until he gets 1t.
2. Boys grow up to be ener-
getic in other ways, to take jobs
and to get what they want for
themselves.
3. AS she grows older, a girl
finds 1t easier and easier to get
what she wants by asking some
man for it.
4. Since the man has the say
so, she naturally depends on in
sistence and persistence.
s.. In addition, women tend
to take things more personally,
more subjectively than men do.
They don't look at things, in
GLIDING themselves and their de-
sires. in very objective and
disinterested way.
6. Finally, a girl learns from
early life more or less uncon-
sciously, to think that her wants
are more important than they
appear to be on the surface. If
she wants a hairdo, it doesn't
represent merely an arrangement
of her hair but a move that will
help to fix her social position,
enable her to make new friends
and thereby perhaps improve
her husbands business situation.
Thus from year to year she
grows to think that anything
she desires, no matter how trivial
it may seem, is really very i'm
portant. She grows to think that
she ought to get it, that she
can get it If she keeps after it
long and hard enough. and that
she must therefore do so at all
costs. And so she gets it.
