The Power of Womanhood, or Mothers and Sons

CHAPTER X
5/13

Let us get good laws if we can; but there is only one way of really obtaining a nobler national existence, and that is by each of us individually learning to hate and detest the vile self-indulgence that covers the life of those who are the victims of it with shame and degradation.

Self-control and respect for the rights of others are the only cure for the terrible national danger which threatens us.

If men and women would learn never to take pleasure in what brings pain, shame, misery, and moral death to others, earth would be turned into a heaven.

It would be incredible if it were not true that for mere selfish indulgence thousands of men are willing to drag women down to what even these men themselves recognize as the lowest dregs of humanity.

Where is their common humanity?
