of the individuals would tell: their sexual attributes would be
indifferent.

But there are points, comparatively small, even very small, in number, yet
of vital importance to human life, in which sex does play a part.

It is not a matter of indifference whether the body called to adjudicate
upon the questions, whether the temporary sale of the female body for
sexual purposes shall or shall not be a form of traffic encouraged and
recognised by the state; or whether one law shall exist for the licentious
human female and another for the licentious human male; whether the claim
of the female to the offspring she bears shall or shall not equal that of
the male who begets it; whether an act of infidelity on the part of the
male shall or shall not terminate the contract which binds his female
companion to him, as completely as an act of infidelity on her part would
terminate her claim on him; it is not a matter of indifference whether a
body elected to adjudicate on such points as these consists of males
solely, or females solely, or of both combined. As it consists of one, or
the other, or of both, so not only will the answers vary, but, in some
cases, will they be completely diverse. Here we come into that very
narrow, but important, region, where sex as sex manifestly plays its part;
where the male as male and the female as female have each their body of
perceptions and experiences, which they do not hold in common; here one sex
cannot adequately represent the other. It is here that each sexual part
has something radically distinct to contribute to the wisdom of the race.

We, today, take all labour for our province! We seek to enter the non-
sexual fields of intellectual or physical toil, because we are unable to
see today, with regard to them, any dividing wall raised by sex which
excludes us from them. We are yet equally determined to enter those in
