Publisher’s summary
Originally published in 1922, this book considers topics that remain of vital interest to today’s readers, including monogamy and polygamy, the double standard, sexual harassment, and declining marriage rates. Written in Mencken’s characteristic no-nonsense manner, In Defense of Women crackles with controversy and caustic wit.
“The truth is that neither sex, without some fertilization by the complementary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor. Man, without a saving touch of woman in him, is too doltish, too naïve and romantic, too easily deluded and lulled to sleep by his imagination to be anything above a cavalryman, a theologian, or a bank director. And woman, without some trace of that divine innocence which is masculine, is too harshly the realist for those vast projections of the fancy which lie at the heart of what we call genius. Here, as elsewhere in the universe, the best effects are obtained by a mingling of elements” (H. L. Mencken).

Thank you, very much, for the historical upload. Goes to show that there really is nothing new under the sun.
So. Care to tell me again why I have to pay, for each of the 10 children of every Obama Mama, food and home and medical and clothing and education and incarceration…?
This seems to be what feminism is: the ‘everything is free!’ life for women who demand to live a completely ‘equal and independant!’ life where thay can do whatever to whomever… and I have to pay for it all. For them, and each and every one of the small legion they have the “freedom!” to birth.

Thanks for this.
Are you able to seed a couple of uploads from January that are incomplete?
Gissing - The Odd Women stuck at 75%
Gissing - New Grub Street stuck at 89%
Thanks again!

I could tell you but you seem the kind that if you’re given more than two sentences to ruminate, your coherence floats away. Instead, I thank you for your support of women freedom.
Thanks, @userabuer, for your contributions!

Mencken was no feminist. He’s a great stylist and a lot of his views seem calculated to be provocative and ironic. I think his ideal woman would be a meek helpmate:
