As for the silly men, they agree upon the logic of reason — or so it is supposed.. and then they behave toward women in a manner more unreasonable than the logic of women themselves. They spend a lifetime training one woman according to a certain pattern, and when one of them marries her, after she has reached the stage of perfection, he casts her aside for something else. So beware, young lady, of the young men who love you; for they, once they attain you, look toward another. As soon as a man marries a girl belonging to the pattern of boyish nature, he begins at once to search for noble Agnes with her purity and her pride, or for the ideal mother with her broad, consoling bosom, or for the capable business woman, or the scowling harlot, or — and this is the strangest thing of all — for one who is a mixture of all of this.

This is the logic of reason; and so men, in the eyes of women, are fools who do not know what they want and do not forever want what they get. They ask for a cream cake that shall at the same time be meat and eggs and pudding. Yes, fools.. if only the fates had not bound women to them. For the truth of life lies in the necessity of woman's adapting herself to the pattern. And she — woman — gives the best of herself to a man who offers the fitting pattern.

But when ready-made patterns flood the markets, what can woman give man other than the trivial side of her emotions? What can a woman give a man who wants her face to look like a boy's face?

And what can she reflect but the behavior of an idiot? And since women are not fools and cannot be deceived for long, the woman will provide him with nothing but a "scratch" of long fingernails that makes the man cry out, appealing to his mother like a child. And then

he sets about changing the pattern!

Yes, men are fools. If they have any purpose at all in women, then let them give them the idea of sound, sober femininity — not these silly, clumsy patterns!!
