Oh ho! This Letter Should Bring in a few Replies

Dear Sir,

I am writing in protest against the laxness of the University staff in permitting females to enter the Law, Science, and technical courses. Applicants for these subjects need a certain amount of integrity, intelligence (Proper intelligence, none of this 'intuition' bull) and logical reasoning: which most females, no matter how "liberated" they believe themselves to be, lack.

Surely all that the average woman needs to learn (and master) are the Domestic Sciences? What is the use of a degree - assuming a woman would attain a plausible degree - if all one is going to do is raise kids, and do a bit of housework? And That after all, is basically why they're on this planet in the first place.

Certainly the Law Faculty should ban, forcibly, women from even attempting any law course. What woman is rational and logical enough to Ever complete properly even the most basic of the law topics? Furthermore, I leave it up to you to imagine as to what would happen to our Judicial system if women started gaining an equal number of positions to the legitimate Law-Men.

How could a mere female ever hope to contribute something worthwhile to today's society, beyond their domestic role? Therefore; what is the use of overburdening our university resources by trying to teach girls, who will hopefully marry as soon as they can?

Yours faithfully,

M. Entell.

P.S. I have just thought, it might be a good idea for them to do a bit of Accountancy: it would help them with the home accounts.
