You are probably selfish also; it is one of the greatest signs of the age, the growing selfishness of women. YOU ARE PROBABLY SELFISH ALSO IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SIGNS OF THE AGE THE GROWING SELFISHNESS OF WOMEN
e days honor and rigid morality are rather _vieux jeu_, he soon drifts away to other interests and amusements. And one cannot blame him. It is upon your obligations and behavior, not his, that I wish to write to you at length, Caroline, but in this letter I shall have time only to begin. You must start by understanding that the natures of men and women are totally different. Men are infinitely more simple, and the British education helps them by its drumming into their heads the knowledge of what is or is not “cricket.” Their natural methods are more direct, and they are much easier to deal with. They are fundamentally and unconsciously selfish, because for generations women have been taught to give way to them. You must accept this fact and 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.  WITH HER AND AS IN THESE DAYS HONOUR AND RIGID MORALITY ARE RATHER VIEUJEUR HE SOON DRIFTS AWAY TO OTHER INTERESTS AND AMUSEMENTS AND ONE CANNOT BLAME HIM IT IS UPON YOUR OBLIGATIONS AND BEHAVIOUR NOT HIS THAT I WISH TO WRITE TO YOU AT LENGTH CAROLINE BUT IN THIS LETTER I SHALL HAVE TIME ONLY TO BEGIN YOU MUST START BY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NATURES OF MEN AND WOMEN ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT MEN ARE INFINITELY MORE SIMPLE AND THE BRITISH EDUCATION HELPS THEM BY ITS DRUMMING INTO THEIR HEADS THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS OR IS NOT CRICKET THEIR NATURAL METHODS ARE MORE DIRECT AND THEY ARE MUCH EASIER TO DEAL WITH THEY ARE FUNDAMENTALLY AND UNCONSCIOUSLY SELFISH BECAUSE FOR GENERATIONS WOMEN HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO GIVE WAY TO THEM YOU MUST ACCEPT THIS FACT AND 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
