Quote by Percy Wynham Lewis
Feminism was recognized by the average man as a conflict in which it was impossible for a man, as a chivalrous gentleman, as a respecter of the rights of little nations (like little Belgium), as a highly evolved citizen of a highly civilized community, to refuse the claim of this better half to self-determination.
Summary
This quote implies that the average man, being a chivalrous and enlightened member of society, has come to realize that feminism is about women asserting their right to self-determination. It suggests that feminism is not a threat or conflict, but rather an acknowledgement of women's rights and equality in the same way that men respect the rights of other nations.
