The emancipators, believing in individual autonomy, respecting it, and recognizing it in woman, wish to aid her to conquer it. Judging of the need that a free being has of liberty by the need that they have of it themselves, they are consistent. The non-emancipators, blinded by pride, perverted by a love of dominion as unbridled as unintelligent, desire liberty only _for themselves_. These egotists, so suspicious of those that menace their own freedom, wish half the human species to be in their chains. The emancipators have enough heart and ideality to desire a companion with whom they can exchange sentiment and thought, and who can improve them in some respects and be improved by them in others; they love and respect woman. The non-emancipators, without ideality, without love, chained to their senses and their pride, despise woman; and wish to have in her only a _female, a servant, a machine to produce young ones_. They are _males, they are not yet men_. The emancipators desire perfection of the species, in a three-fold point of view: physical, moral, and intellectual. They know that races cannot be improved without selecting and perfecting the mothers. The non-emancipators are bent upon something quite different from the improvement of the species: let their children be lacking in intelligence, malicious, ugly, or deformed; they think much less of this than of being _masters_. Do they know enough of physiology to have reflected that the faculties _depend on organization_, that organization is capable of modification, that modifications are transmitted, that woman has a great share in this transmission, a greater share, perhaps, than that of man? It is therefore _essential_ to place her in a condition to perform this great function in the manner most useful to humanity.
