But no one lives by her own life; they are all dependent upon man.

They cannot be otherwise, since to them the attraction of the greatest number of men is the ideal of life (young girls and married women), and it is for this reason that they have no feeling stronger than that of the animal need of every female who tries to attract the largest number of males in order to increase the opportunities for choice.

So it is in the life of young girls, and so it continues during marriage.

In the life of young girls it is necessary in order to selection, and in marriage it is necessary in order to rule the husband.

Only one thing suppresses or interrupts these tendencies for a time,--namely, children,--and then only when the woman is not a monster,--that is, when she nurses her own children.
