Altogether it cannot he denied that woman is much more a slave of her sex nature than man is of his. Yes, Nature has handi¬ capped woman much more heavily than she has man. In short, both in view of the fact that sexual ig¬ norance with its possible missteps has much more disastrous consequences for the girl than it has for the boy, and in view of the fact that the sex instinct and its physical and psychic manifestations occupy a much more important part in woman’s life than they do in the life of man, we consider the necessity of sex instruction much greater in the case of woman than in the case of man. I do not wish to be mis¬ understood as underestimating the need of sex in¬ struction for the male—only I consider the need even greater in the case of the female.
