sted for women, the question is: "Will it benefit
men?"

Why We Oppose Votes for Men

1. Because man's place is the armory.

2. Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise
than by fighting about it.

3. Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer
look up to them.

4. Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural
sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms,
uniforms and drums.

5. Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball
games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency
to appeal to force renders them peculiarly unfit for the task of
government.

The Logic of the Law

In 1875 the Supreme Court of Wisconsin in denying the petition of women
to practise before it said:

"It would be shocking to man's reverence for womanhood and faith in
woman ... that woman should be permitted to mix professionally in all
the nastiness which finds its way into courts of justice."

It then names thirteen subjects as unfit for the attention of
women--three of them are crimes committed against women.

Consistency

("Vile insults, lewd talk and brutal conduct were used by the indicted
men to frighten respectable women who went to the polls in Terre Haute
at the last election, asserted District Attorney Dailey."--_Press
Dispatch_.)

Are the polls unfit for decent women?

No, sir, they are perfectly orderly.

Tut, tut! Go there at once and swear and be brutal, or what will become
of our anti-suffrage argument?

Is it true that the English government is calling on women to do work
abandoned by men?

Yes, it is true.

Is not woman's place the home?

No, not when men need her services outside the home.

Will she never be told again that her place is the home?

Oh, yes, indeed.

When?

As soon as men want their jobs back again.

degree at the University of Edinburgh?
