cannot possibly exist at the moment; but rather, exhaust ourselves in the dissection of previous views. For instance, the whole realm of morality and ethics is something that has osoaped the attention of women by and large. And, it needs the attention of intellectual women most desperately. I think it is about time that equipped women began to take on some of the ethical questions which a male dominated culture has produced and dissect and analyze them quite to pieces in a seri– ous fashion. It is time that 'half the human race' had something to say about the nature of its existence. Otherwise without revised basic thinking the woman intellectual is likely to find herself trying to draw conclusions moral conclusions based on acceptance of a social moral superstructure which has never admitted to the equality of women and is therefore immoral itself. As per marriage, as per sexual practices, as per the rearing of children, eto. In this kind of work there may be women to emerge who will be able to formulate a new and possible concept that homosexual persecution and condemnation has at its roots not only social ignorance, but a philosophically active anti-feminist dogma. But that is but a kernel of a speculative embryonic idea improperly introduced here."
