But why should the many women who are devoid of the physical qualities of human nature presume to lay claim to perfection and to regard the normal woman as a suspicious character?
You have a fine, active mind, a highly spiritual nature, but you are stunted in strong, physical emotion. You are incapable of it, and pride yourself upon the fact.
If that pleases you, well and good.
But how dare you criticize God's complete human beings, who feel the great vibrations of the universe, who glow and thrill with that divine creative force, who live a thousand lives and die a thousand deaths before they learn the glory of self-conquest.
How dare you shrink even from those who fall by the wayside, and call your shrinking "purity"!
Let me ask you another question:
How dare you turn away from that girl who went through the door of the Magdalene Home you helped establish, with her fatherless child in her arms?
She fell from woman's holy estate!
Yes, through mad love for a man—she loved him with her soul, her mind, her body. She lacked knowledge, balance, and wisdom; she had only love and passion.
And you, madam, how about your children?
