Man's World

''We have absolutely no idea what the world would be like if men really used their
intelligence and imagination instead of wasting it. Inventing pressure cookers that
cook faster, wall-to-wall carpeting that is more stain-resistant, detergents that wash
whiter and lipsticks that are more water-resistant is a waste of time. Instead of
producing children who will in turn produce children, thus pushing the enjoyment of
life, still further out of their own reach, they should try living themselves. Instead of
probing the depth of woman's 'mysterious' psyche - 'mysterious' Only because there
is nothing behind it - they, should study their own psyche. perhaps even that of
creatures possibly inhabiting other planets, and think of new ways and means of
establishing contact with them. Instead of inventing ever more deadly weapons to
fight wars destined only to defend private property, i.e., women's, they should be
developing ever more efficient methods of space travel - travel which would tell us
more about worlds we never dreamt of.'' ~ E.V.
