Questo passo di Wyndham Lewis può aiutare acapire perché gli uomini occidentali si comportano così:
In the war of the sexes, turned into a class war, the man has been defeated. For the smooth working of the industrial machine some degree of castration of the pugnacious, smally and uselessly, wastefully competitive, european male is necessary. He has been hypnotized (by snobbery ― one of his weak points) into carrying out this operation himself. Objectionable as this is to be present at, a sense of the great benefits that must result from it should make it easier to support. If it is best to turn the “surplus women” into a neuter sex, it is also best to turn all “surplus” mankind, all the “un-progressive mass,” into something neuter too, the modern ruler seems to have said.
