"No, for men."
"Oh."
"You don't think that matters?"
"Not especially. The progress of the world is what matters, isn't it? Change is always uncomfortable."
"You've got everything to gain; we're the only losers, so no wonder you're reconciled to it."
"No, we'll all gain by a fairer adjustment. It is just as uncomfortable for women, now, as it is for men. After all, how can it help but be, since we live our lives together, since our main interests are one."
"But we aren't going on living together! Men are getting sick of it. If women don't let up on these demands we are going to stop marrying them altogether."
Jane tried not to laugh.
"What about the demands men have always made on women?"
"Those were natural demands."
