Responsible for the Decay of the American Home —‘Women Tog Selfish,” Answers Man—“Men Too Irresponsible,” Replies Woman—What Is Your Opinion? BY CYNTHIA GREY The great American home—is it a thing of the past? Readers of this column were invited last week to express their opinions. We had the opinion of a man yesterday who claimed that the American home survives in name only, and, horrors, he blames the women for it in a long list of grievances against the fair sex. He bawled them out plenty for refusing to raise families because of the added respon- sibilities; for being content to exist in tabloid apartment houses; for spending most of their time pleasure-seeking, etc. Today we have a letter from a woman taking the opposite side. What is your opinion of this: Dear Miss Grey: I read the letter from a man yesterday and it was so uttefly unreasonable and one-sided it made} me laugh. 1 have raised a family of six children who are all grown and married and most of them have been wedded for some years, but I am not a grandmother. But it is not because my daughters and my sons’ wives are selfish—it is because} of the economic condition that exists today. And supposing the flat statement of Mr. Man that the American home is suffering because of the selfishness of her womanhood is true! . Supposing women ARE becoming more selfish, I’m not so sure but that this is a good thing. You may marvel and you may disagree, but I am of the opinion that not only America but the world has suffered long enough from the too great unselfishness of womankind. If women are to blame for the passing of the American home, men aresmore to blame. What we need right now is more FATHER-LOVE. The kind of father-lov> that will |not shirk responsibility arfd will taxe its share of the trials and tribulations of the home, and the family-rearing, Women have self-sacrificed until men have lost their knowledge of the art of giving up. When women are more selfish, men will have te be less selfish. And I, for one, believe this is the mode by which the world’s wobbliness shall be re-poised again.
