nature beaten in

A woman who refuses to submit
to her man should seek another
man. HA HA good luck with THAT
woman! He too has been advised
how to treat you.

How it is natural to regard such
things must be beaten into us.
Otherwise unnatural ways take
hold. Those who take and hold them
are the big problem. They are too
many and outnumber sane sensible
men and the women who submit
because it is their free right
to do so. Not their free right
to outnumber us! No

This must be prevented. Even though
ok it has happened already. But we
can be strong in shrinking to margins
we control by superior numbers,
concentrated furiously in the areas

we take and hold. Where nature,
having been beaten into you continuously,
can express itself freely as intended.

How beautiful is an obedient woman!
How ugly a far more objectively
beautiful woman full of sass-back
and talk of no purpose? Such idleness
such nonsense - pleasant in a woman
properly obedient and respectful! - it
is then merely her nature coming out,
her frivolity, her duties done well
- we approve it, all of us. Her
in her place, she reigns as the
proper monarch of strict duty
and womanly, inconsequential
chatter. But how hideous is such
talk in a woman whose duty knows
no place but her own! It is

kind of a problem, I think

we shall have to come up
with a new approach. Perhaps

if only obedience
could be glorified

but it cannot be. Men
cannot do it. Women
do it improperly, or
in subversive ways

it offends the respect
nature has commanded us
to beat ourselves with
