You see, a woman's demanding spirit is covered with the mush of her emotions.

A man's demanding spirit stands out in all its naked ugliness.

One is just as bad as the other.

One is just as repulsive as the other.
It is a radical, practical impossibility to bring loving-kindness out of any one by demanding it.

Loving-kindness, thoughtfulness, and consideration have got to be born spontaneously in a man's own mind to be anything at all, and no amount of demanding on the part of his wife can force it.
When this little lady of whom I have been writing found that she had been demanding from her husband what he really ought to have given her as a matter of course, and that she had used up all her strength in suffering because he did not give it, and had used none of her strength in the effort to be patient and quiet in waiting for him to come to his senses, she went home and began a new life.
