 THE PARASITE WOMAN MUST GO!

HE Parasite Woman must go! Our Little Group of Serious Thinkers took up the Parasite Woman last night in quite a thorough way. One of the most interesting women you ever listened to gave us a little talk about the Parasite Woman, you know.

And we decided that the Parasite Woman has nothing to Contribute to the Next Generation.

Oh, these Parasite Women! It just simply makes my blood boil to hear about them! I don't know when I have been so indignant!

With the world so full of work to be done for the Cause—for all the Causes, you know—they just sit around selfishly at home all wrapped up in their own families, or children, if they're married, and do nothing at all for the Evolution of the Ego and the Development of the Race, and the Conscious Guidance of the Next Generation, or anything at all like that.

Thank goodness I could never be a Parasite Woman!

And, yet, I pity them, too. [76]
