1. Because man's place is the armory.
2. Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise
than by fighting about it.
3. Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer
look up to them.
4. Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural
sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms,
uniforms and drums.
5. Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball
games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency
to appeal to force renders them peculiarly unfit for the task of
government.
