Still there remains the field of inter-masculine competition, does there not? Do not the males still struggle together? Is not that as of old, a source of race advantage?
To some degree it is. When life was simple and our activities consisted mainly in fighting and hard work; the male who could vanquish the others was bigger and stronger. But inter-masculine competition ceases to be of such advantage when we enter the field of social service. What is required in organized society is the specialization of the individual, the development of special talents, not always of immediate benefit to the man himself, but of ultimate benefit to society.

Perkins Gilman, you son of a gun. This book is Christian apologist, heteronormative, gender essentialist, and way too uncritical of racist anthropology, and I've read enough turn of the century leftist writings to know that yeah, this is a comparatively conservative take from someone who runs with t
