n individuals these
rudiments are more strongly developed, and may by exaggeration and
transition lead to pathological hermaphrodism (Chapter I); such are
bearded women, and those possessing a large clitoris, or beardless men
with effeminate bodies and small sexual organs. Such cases are not
examples of hermaphrodism, but of incomplete embryological
differentiation. They consist in certain correlative sexual characters
which show a tendency toward the other sex, a tendency which we find,
from the mental point of view, in homosexuals.

There is also to be noticed the "breaking" of the voice which occurs
in man at the age of puberty, and is connected with the nervous
system.

In women the body is smaller and more delicate, the bones weaker, the
pelvis wider and the chest narrower. The normal woman has no beard
while the pubic hairs are the same as in man. The pubis, covered with
a layer of fat, is slightly prominent in women and is called the _mons
Veneris_. There is more fat under the skin in a woman's body, and the
voice does not break. After puberty breasts develop with their
lactiferous glands and nipples for suction. Puberty takes place a
little earlier in women than in men, and corresponds to the growth of
the internal and external sexual organs, at the same time that the
ovules commence to mature and menstruation is established.

The mental correlative sexual characters are much more important than
those of the body. The psychology of man is different from that of
woman. Many books have been written on this subject, usually with more
sentimentality than exactitude. Mysogynists, like the philosopher
_Schopenhauer_, disparage woman from all points of view, while the
friends of the female sex often exalt her in an exaggerated manner. In
contemporary literature we see women authors judging man in quite
different ways according as they are affected with "misandery" or
"philandery"--that is enemies or friends of men. Quite recently
_Moebius_ has published a mysogynistic work on the "Physiological
Imbecility of Woman." (_Der physiologische Schwachsinn des Weibes_).
One must be a misogynist of very high degree to introduce the
pathological notion of imbecility into the evolution of the normal
mentality of woman. In reality, the individual differences are much
greater in man and woman from the psychological than from the physical
point of view, so that they render a definition of the average
extremely difficult.
