The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Woman and Labour by Olive Schreiner: than herself--it is the man. As no sane human concerns himself as to
whether the right or left ventricle of his heart works most satisfactorily,
or is most essential to his well-being, so both be perfect in health and
activity; as no sane woman distresses herself lest her right breast should
not excel the left in beauty and use; so no sane man or woman questions
anxiously over the relative perfections of male and female. In love there
is no first nor last. What we request of life is that the tools should be
given to his hand or hers who can best handle them; that the least
efficient should not be forced into the place of the more efficient, and
that an artificially drawn line should never repress the activities of the
individual creature, which we as women bring into the world.
