Whether it robs women
[the male part of the species are both able and willing
to pay a much greater [quantity contribution of tribute] than the
female part are permitted to receive.] it appears the contribution
which the male part of the species are both willing
as well as able to bestow is beyond all comparison
greater than what the female part are permitted to
receive. If a woman has a husband she is permitted
to receive it only from her husband: if she has no
husband she is not permitted to receive it at all from any
body man, without being degraded into the class of prostitutes.
When they are she is in that unhappy class, they she have not indeed less
than they she would wish, but what is often as bad to
them her, they have she has more.
For It appears then that if
the female sex there to by are losers prejudiced by
the prevalence of this practise it must be can only be on the
supposition that [the [number of men deterred diverted by it
from entering into a connection with the other sex]
diversion it's tendency it has] the force with which it
tends to divert men men from engaging entering into connections
with the other sex is greater than the
force with which the censure of the world operating
on the tends to prevent those connections by its operation
on the women
