If the preservation of the home means the enslavement of women, economically or morally, then we had better break it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe the preservation of the home in the future lies almost entirely in the hands of men.
Fixing things around the house was the last bastion of manliness. But now, even that is getting taken away. As women become more economically independent, they are starting to fix things around the house for themselves.
We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live.
What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.
But I do believe that a woman's truest place is in a home, with a husband and with children, and with large freedom, pecuniary freedom, personal freedom, and the right to vote.
No longer is the female destined solely for the home and the rearing of the family and only the male for the marketplace and the world of ideas.
The argument for getting our own house in order is not an argument for turning our back on the world. We cannot and should not do that.
I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected.
If they are willing to give women economic freedom in that home, if they are willing to live by the standard they wish women to live by, then homes will be preserves.
The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.
