“God has marked out the same path for men and for women to follow. Away
with the hellish doctrine of a double standard of living in this twentieth
century. It makes no difference whether the one who sins wears a plug hat
or a petticoat. Young fellow, your sister has as good a right to live as
you do, as you have. She has as good a right to walk up street smoking a
cigaret as you have. Your wife has as good a right to line up before a
bar and put 10 beers under her belt as you have. She has as good a right
to go to the corner grocery in the evening and sit around and put her
feet up on the stove and settle the questions of the day, as you have.
She has as good a right as you have to walk down street with a half a
plug of Lorillard’s sticking out of her mouth and spit enough to drown a
jackrabbit as you have. I wouldn’t clean out your old spittoon for you.
I’d throw it at your old head. Yes, sir. Mop up your own slop, you old
hog.”
