” And if you honestly desire to find your level without prejudice be brave and deny at the outset that pathetic clap trap war cry women is equal of man for she is not.”
The term manifesto means a public declaration of policy and aims. In the article by Mina Loy she focuses on many publications surrounding the female population. One of her focus is when she states ” And if you honestly desire to find your level without prejudice be brave and deny at the outset that pathetic clap trap war cry women is the equal of man for she is not.” This statement can be interrupted as women are superior to men. Women have always been looked upon as inferior man, this statement is advocation that women are similar to man but they are placing themselves at the top. This statement can also be interrupted as women cannot be compared to men in a similar way that would be able to set the two sexes as equal or better than each other. In other for women to experience fairness without prejudice that must expect the fact that they are not equal to man.
Do you think Loy means that women are not capable of being equal to men, or that women are not equivalent to men? How are those two statements different? This is an important idea, since it would be helpful to know if Loy thinks women are lesser, or if she thinks that women are not in the position to do what men do, succeed as they do, behave as they do, etc. Maybe a commenter can look to respond to this question, too!
