“In the struggle of the races, keeping in view the teachings of
evolutionists, the most reasonable and sensible thing, in addition to
its _justness_, appears to be this:
“First, to place women on an equal footing with men, socially, and _in
the eyes of the law_. Before _that_ is done, it is useless to talk about
women’s superiority or equality. It is all breath and words, or paper
and ink. In the eyes of the law she is man’s inferior. That is not all.
In the eyes of the law the most cultured woman is inferior to the most
uncultured man; she is, in fact, pretty much on a level with a baby, or
a boy or girl under age. Moreover, the most cultured woman in the United
Kingdom is considered inferior, politically, to the American negro!
“Second, let the two sexes settle matters among themselves, as far as
intellect is concerned, as men now settle matters among themselves,
without imposing on each other any disability. Those of both sexes who
are weak will soon find their intellectual level; and those of both
sexes who are strong will soon come to the front.”—Emanuel Bonavia, M.D.
(“Woman’s Frontal Lobes”).
