The tactics of the suffragist agitator are the same when she is
dealing with a woman who is living at the charges of a husband or
relative, and who recoils against the idea that she lies under a moral
obligation to make to the man who works for her support some return of
gratitude. The suffragist agitator will point out to her that such an
obligation is slavery, and that the woman's suffrage cause is the
cause of freedom.

And so we find the women who want to have everything for nothing, and
the wives who do not see that they are beholden to man for anything,
and those who consider that they have not made a sufficiently good
bargain for themselves--in short, all the ungrateful women--flock to
the banner of Women's Freedom--the banner of financial freedom for
woman at the expense of financial servitude for man.

The grateful woman will practically always be an anti-suffragist.

It will be well, before passing on to another class of arguments, to
summarise what has been said in the three foregoing sections.

We have recognised that woman has not been defrauded of elementary
natural rights; that Justice, as distinguished from egalitarian
equity, does not prescribe that she should be admitted to the
suffrage; and that her status is not, as is dishonestly alleged, a
status of serfdom or slavery.

With this the whole case for recrimination against man, and _a
fortiori [for greater reason]_ the case for [a] resort to violence,
collapses.
