Article - "The Man's Side of The Woman Question"

The article shares a friends question/perspective from the male side of the argument of suffrage. The argument begins with a fear of lost femininity with the ability to vote. By the end of the article, Wetherald remarks "He desires a comrade in his wife, and he would feel astonished and injured if his intelligent remarks concerning private or public affairs should meet at his own fireside with nothing more stimulating than 'a mere mush of concession.' If, as is natural, the fruit of her interest in outside matters is a desire to have a vote in them, he is not alarmed for her femininity. If he can trust her moderation in other directions he surely can in this, and the golden mean in all things is the preservation of womanliness. Certainly he would not know whether to be more amazed or amused at the suggesion that the woman whose childish prattle keeps her husband yawning is more feminine than she whose interests are one with the living interests of humanity.
