The mass of women could not have been intended to be individual by the laws of Nature  not of man  and the few who are highly gifted have unconsciously been raised on pedestals without their own effort. THE MASS OF WOMEN COULD NOT HAVE BEEN INTENDED TO BE INDIVIDUAL BY THE LAWS OF NATURE NOT OF MAN AND THE FEW WHO ARE HIGHLY GIFTED HAVE UNCONSCIOUSLY BEEN RAISED ON PEDESTALS WITHOUT THEIR OWN EFFORT
 you have a tendency to either of its demonstrations. There are all sorts of modern philosophers (in petticoats mostly, but still some of them are _men!_) who, with more or less subtle reasoning, are trying to inculcate an idea of the necessity of individualism in all women. They urge _every unit_ to express her individuality, with the result that the average female, who is little higher than the animal world in intelligence, and not half so endowed with instinct, is becoming a perfect bore! She has not the sense to see that, if she were really gifted, nothing on earth could keep her from being individual, and that, if she is not so, to try to push forward her commonplace ideas only clogs the wheels of progress for the general company. Numbers of foolish feather-brains, bitten with the idea that they have this high mission of showing their individuality, have upset all possibility of their own happiness and that of their families. Numbers of the poor suffragettes are composed of these.
