I detest women who dabble in politics. And if their dabbling extends to military matters, it becomes utterly unendurable. Once as I strolled through the campus of Oxford I came across a feminist distributing propaganda. She believed in the absurd theory that more women should be represented in Government. I told her calmly that 90 per cent of the matters dealt with by government were masculine affairs, on which women could not have opinions of any value. She rebelled against this point of view, but I shut her mouth by saying: “You will not claim to know men as I know womenâ€.
With that the feminist was silenced.
A man who shouts is not a handsome sight. But if it’s a woman, it’s terribly shocking. The more she uses her lungs, the more strident her voice becomes. There she is, ready to pull her hair out, with all her claws showing. In short, gallantry forbids one to give women an opportunity of putting themselves in situations that do not suit them. Everything that entails combat is exclusively men’s business. There are so many other fields in which one must rely upon women.
Organising a house, for example.
