EFFEMINATE MEN
TRAGIC RESULTS OF MOTHERS’ PRE-NATAL DESIRE.
EXPERT VIEW ON SEX PROBLEM
LONDON, Jan. 5. “When a mother wants a girl and gets a boy, and vice versa, the consequences are olten tragic,’’ said Di Crichton-Miller, Director of the Tavistock Clinic for functional nerve cases. “I know a hopelessly effeminate youth aged 24 who was the fourth son of a mother who wanted a girl, and treated him as a girl. If any unfortunate women marries him she will realise that she has married a wife and not a husband. Unwanted girls are more common, and consequently acquire a sense of inferiority, it is futile to give them a vote and admit them to the professions. The only thing that matters is what the motherVants most.”—A.N.Z.C.A.
