在妇女权利团体的会议和其它会议上,思想最先进的男性为平等的想法而鼓掌。我注意到了那些男人,这样的人我此前见到过不少后来也见过很多——尽管他们声称自己是支持的,尽管他们似乎是在帮助我们,但这些人所做的也仅限于在会议上出席到场而已。
这是旧习俗和偏见的力量造成的结果,它提醒着我,我们女性必须自己争取我们的位置而不是靠着乞求就能得到它。有关政治权利的问题已经死了。平等的教育,平等的机会,有了这些卖淫才不会是女性唯一有钱可赚的职业,而这些也正是我们的目标。现在革命是必要的,否则希望就会死在茧中。
At the meetings of the Rights of Women group, and at other meetings, the most advanced men applauded the idea of equality. I noticed- I had seen it before, and I saw it later- that men, their declarations notwithstanding, although they appeared to help us, were always content with just the appearance.
This was the result of custom and the force of old prejudices, and it convinced me that we women must simply take our place without begging for it. The issue of political rights is dead. Equal education, equal trades, so that prostitution would not be the only lucrative profession open to a woman -that is what was real in our program. And now revolution is necessary or the butterfly will die in its cocoon.
