Oh, my. The section before the excerpted text is this turd:
“The curious feeling of rivalry which nowadays is felt in some cases, and written about between the two sexes is one of the most preposterous and unscientific feelings that was ever expressed. It should be strenuously resisted by every sensible man and woman. Each sex has a place and a work which the other can not do. Each is necessary to the other, each completes the happiness of the other. One of the tasks of the practical sociology of the future will be to find out the true spheres and work of each sex, and to regulate our social system in accordance with that knowledge.”
The next section speaks of “The ideal woman…” in literature. Then there is this sentence: “History shows that woman is easier satisfied and more adaptable in regard to marriage than man, for she seemed to be fairly happy whether as a slave wife, a paramour, or a joint worker.”
There is much, much more in “The Hygiene of Mind” (1906).
