Synopsis

Excerpt from Feminism and Sex-Extinction

Feminism, the extremist - and of late years the predominant cult of the Woman''s Movement, is Masculinism.

It makes for such training and development in woman, of male characteristics, as shall equip her to compete with the male in every department of life; academic, athletic, professional, political, industrial. And it neither recognises nor admits in her natural aptitudes differing from those of men, and fitting her, accord ingly, for different functions in these. It rejects all concessions to her womanhood; even to her mother function. It repudiates all privileges for her. Boldly it demands a fair field only and no favour; equal rights, political and social, identical education and training, identical economic opportunities and avocations, an identical morale, personal and public.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Feminism, the extremist and of late years the predominant cult of theW omans Movement, isM asculinism. It makes for such training and development in woman, of male characteristics, as shall equip her to compete with the male in every department of life; academic, athletic, professional, political, industrial. And it neither recognises nor admits in her natural aptitudes differing from those of men, and fitting her, accordingly, for different functions in these. It rejects all concessions to her womanhood; even to her motherfunction. It repudiates all privileges for her. Boldly it demands a fair field only and no favour; equal rights, political and social, identical education and training, identical economic opportunities and avocations, an identical morale, personal and public. In Woman and Labour, Miss Olive Schreiner sums in a line the Feminist objective :W etake all labour for our province. And this is the text of the Feminist creed; the elimination of sex-differences and the abolition of sex-distinctions in every department of life and activity. Feminists anticipate the militant faction with zest fierce economic encounters between the sexes now that. War ended, our men, having fought their own and womans battle in the trenches, are returning to reclaim their places in the world of work.
