It will take much longer than your lifetime (and I personally hope, in spite of the wrath I shall excite in stating this,  much longer than many lifetimes) to change the nature of men. IT WILL TAKE MUCH LONGER THAN YOUR LIFETIME AND I PERSONALLY HOPE IN SPITE OF THE WRATH I SHALL EXCITE IN STATING THIS MUCH LONGER THAN MANY LIFETIMES TO CHANGE THE NATURE OF MEN
t. The only way you can change it in regard to your own personal male belonging is by inspiring in him intense devotion to yourself; but, even so, it is wiser to face it and make the best of it, and not be disillusioned. You are probably selfish also; it is one of the greatest signs of the age, the growing selfishness of women. It is not altogether a bad thing; it is a proof in one way of their increasing individuality; but meanwhile it does not tend toward their happiness. Now, Caroline, I am sure you will agree with me that to aim at happiness is a wiser and more agreeable thing than just to express the growing individuality of your sex! I must reiterate what I said in my former letters; I am advising you for a _first start_ in all things. Circumstances may arise which may alter possibilities, but, to begin upon, we may as well aim at the best, and not fight windmills; storming that men _ought_ to be different, and that women should not give way, being their superiors in most things! D NOT STORM AND RAGE AGAINST IT THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CHANGE IT IN REGARD TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL MALE BELONGING IS BY INSPIRING IN HIM INTENSE DEVOTION TO YOURSELF BUT EVEN SO IT IS WISER TO FACE IT AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT AND NOT BE DISILLUSIONED YOU ARE PROBABLY SELFISH ALSO IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SIGNS OF THE AGE THE GROWING SELFISHNESS OF WOMEN IT IS NOT ALTOGETHER A BAD THING IT IS PROOF IN ONE WAY OF THEIR INCREASING INDIVIDUALITY BUT MEANWHILE IT DOES NOT TEND TOWARDS THEIR HAPPINESS NOW CAROLINE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT TO AIM AT HAPPINESS IS A WISER AND MORE AGREEABLE THING THAN JUST TO EXPRESS THE GROWING INDIVIDUALITY OF YOUR SEX I MUST REITERATE WHAT I SAID IN MY FORMER LETTERS I AM ADVISING YOU FOR A FIRST START IN ALL THINGS CIRCUMSTANCES MAY ARISE WHICH MAY ALTER POSSIBILITIES BUT TO BEGIN UPON WE MAY AS WELL AIM AT THE BEST AND NOT FIGHT WINDMILLS STORMING THAT MEN OUGHT TO BE DIFFERENT AND THAT WOMEN SHOULD NOT GIVE WAY BEING THEIR SUPERIORS IN MOST THINGS
