In Mina Loy’s “Feminist Manifesto” she promotes superiority of women over men. I believe the second and third paragraphs on the second page really shows this.
“The value of man is assessed entirely according to his use or interest to the community, the value of woman depends entirely on chance, her success or in success in maneuvering a man into taking the life-long responsibility of her—
The advantages of marriage are too ridiculously ample—
Compared to all other trades—for under modern conditions a woman can accept preposterously luxurious support from a man (with-out the return of an sort—even offspring)—as a thank offering for her virginity.” What Loy is saying in the first paragraph  is that the value of a man’s life is based solely on his use to the community. Whereas the success of a woman’s life is solely chance, whether she can successfully maneuver a man into taking life long responsibility of her. In the second paragraph she is saying that a woman can accept luxurious support from a man without the return of any sort. This is simply a thank you from the man for the woman giving him her virginity.
