Give them the vote, and they’ll sacrifice the home to make the nation.
MAGNUS (seated, crossing legs)

Because women, having no interest in business, urge their men to make as much money as they can. They can do this only by taking advantage of other people’s weakness; not realizing that, if they do this to weaker people, stronger men will do it to them.

MAGNUS
Thanks for making me a big dog anyhow, Loo—But how would women voting change all this?
