"You are right there, I admit, but tell me, your majesty," I said with a slow, scoffing voice, meant to show that I had a powerful point to make, and as if I had to go slow enough for him to comprehend the eloquence of my speech, "Why, if you are so enlightened and progressive, so humanitarian and merciful, why do you keep a whole race of people, of human beings, stranded on the far shore, able to see the goodness of Daem's plush lands, but unable to visit them? YOU ARE RIGHT THERE I ADMIT BUT TELL ME YOUR MAJESTY I SAID WITH A SLOW SCOFFING VOICE MEANT TO SHOW THAT I HAD A POWERFUL POINT TO MAKE AND AS IF I HAD TO GO SLOW ENOUGH IN TO COMPREHEND THE ELOQUENCE OF MY SPEECH WHY IF YOU ARE SO ENLIGHTENED AND PROGRESSIVE SO HUMANITARIAN AND MERCIFUL WHY DO YOU KEEP A WHOLE RACE OF PEOPLE OF HUMAN BEINGS STRANDED ON THE FAR SHORE ABLE TO SEE THE GOODNESS OF DAMES PLUSH LANDS BUT UNABLE TO VISIT THEM
ier? It is only logical. "And in general, Jehu," he pursued, warming to the subject matter, "I find the oppression of women in your time to be quite appalling. You seemed to think that the liberation of women consisted in transforming them into loveless, materialistic thugs, into workaholics whose only desire is wealth, into aggression driven beings that possessed little shred of real humanity, into, in a word, men. I think it would have been a much better endeavor to have attempted to change men into women." I was taken aback by his eloquent defense of the treatment of women in his society, and felt, I must admit, a little impressed by his arguments, seeing as how it did make more sense to wear a head covering than to paint on a face every morning. Still, I desired to let him see that traditions aren't all that bad, just as they aren't all that good, and, as I had still won one point out of two so far, I felt it safe to move on to my main argument against his humanistic preponderance. NG ON AND GET THE SAME EFFECT MUCH EASIER IT IS ONLY LOGICAL AND IN GENERAL G WHO HE PURSUED WARMING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER I FIND THE OPPRESSION OF WOMEN IN YOUR TIME TO BE QUITE APPALLING YOU SEEM TO THINK THAT THE LIBERATION OF WOMEN CONSISTED IN TRANSFORMING THEM INTO LOVELESS MATERIALISTIC THUGS INTO WORK A HOLLAC'S ONLY DESIRE IS WEALTH INTO AGGRESSION DRIVEN BEINGS THAT POSSESS LITTLE SHRED OF REAL HUMANITY INTO IN A WORD MEN I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER ENDEAVOUR TO HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE MEN INTO WOMEN I WAS TAKEN ABACK BY THIS ELOQUENT DEFENCE OF THE TREATMENT OF WOMEN IN HIS SOCIETY AND FELT I MUST ADMIT A LITTLE IMPRESSED BY HIS ARGUMENTS SEEING AS HOW IT DID MAKE MORE SENSE TO WEAR A HEAD COVERING THAN TO PAINT ON A FACE EVERY MORNING STILL I DESIRED TO LET HIM SEE THAT TRADITIONS AREN'T ALL THAT BAD JUST AS THEY AREN'T ALL GOOD AND AS I HAD STILL ONE ONE POINT OUT OF TWO SO FAR I FELT IT SAFE TO MOVE ON TO MY MAIN ARGUMENT AGAINST HIS HUMANISTIC PREPONDERANCE
