Even the dairy-maid in her simple bonnet has gone, to be replaced by a male mechanic in charge of a mechanical milking plant.” ―.
It is all very well to say that woman’s place is the home-but modern civilisation has taken all these pleasant and profitable activities out of the home, where the women looked after them, and handed them over to big industry, to be directed and organised by men at the head of large factories. What (people cry) are women doing with this liberty of theirs? What woman really prefers a job to a home and family? “Now, it is frequently asserted that, with women, the job does not come first. There is no act, no sermon, no parable in the whole Gospel that borrows its pungency from female perversity nobody could possibly guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything 'funny' about woman's nature.” ―. A prophet and teacher who never nagged at them, never flattered or coaxed or patronised who never made arch jokes about them, never treated them either as 'The women, God help us!' Or 'The ladies, God bless them!' who rebuked without querulousness and praised without condescension who took their questions and arguments seriously who never mapped out their sphere for them, never urged them to be feminine or jeered at them for being female who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend who took them as he found them and was completely unself-conscious.
