dithering suitor. This triggers her suitor's racism into action, and he moves
to save white womanhood from the defiling clutches of nigger erotomania.
And he saves it by promptly marrying her! {57}
From such examples, the dispassionate observer cannot but be impressed by
the woman's superior position in courtship, and by the cleverness with
which she uses her weapons. While the fool man imagines himself the
aggressive, powerful hunter tracking some weak prey, she hunts him down
and carts him off.
It might be wondered why men do not usually tell the truth about courtship.
Why don't fathers, and perhaps grandfathers, warn young men about it?
Well, male pride for one. The hunting code requires a man to crow from the
rooftops about his victories, not his defeats. This means that no husband
will be eager to admit that he was tricked, and defeated, and enslaved by his
little wife. Secondly, those men who have an interest in declaring the truth,
the successful career bachelors, are very few. And even if they bothered to
tell the truth, how many men would believe them? The reputation which
women have woven for them (as inadequate, undesirable failures whom no
woman would marry) would prevent them from being believed. To those
conditioned to believe that being a husband is the natural, god-ordained,
and happy destiny of every man, a bachelor's account of the perils of
courtship would sound like sour grapes.
Thirdly, a sense of futility contributes to men's silence on the topic when
they consider all the men who fell into women's traps all through the ages,
those who might be tempted to warn others are driven to despair. What's the
use? Driven by his craving for progeny, the average man, forewarned or
not, would still fall where his betters fell.
