“You, Miriam, are an incorrigible loafer. I’ve a sneaking sympathy with that.”
“Well, the thing is, that whereas a few men here and there are creators, originators ... artists, women are this all the time.”
“My dear Miriam, I don’t know what women are. I’m enormously interested in sex; but I don’t know anything about it. Nobody does. That’s just where we are.”
“Because you’re a man and have no personality.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Miriam.”
“How can a man have personality?”
“All right. Men—have no personality.”
“You see women simply as a sex. That’s one of the proofs.”
“Right. Women have no sex.”
“You are doubtful about ‘emancipating’ women, because you think it will upset their sex-life.”
