® J)je /toljjedirtt %hmnct Vol. 48 No. 33 Fles^erton Ontario, January 30, 1929 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors' Miss Macphail Won Debate in Hart House, Toronto Female Emancipation Was Subject of Debate on ^ Wednesday Last At Hart House, Toronto, the Uni- versity men's stronghold, where no woman has ever set foot before, Miss A. C. Macphail, M. P., stormed the portals on Wednesday evening of las: week in debate on the subject thai female emancipation has not justi- fied its promisss. Miss Macphail was supported in her arguments by a young man and were so far effect- ive that the judges awarded Miss Macphail's point of view, the negative the decision by a score of 127 to 21. Miss Macphail's speech was reported by the Toronto Daily Star as follows: "I am sensible to the high hjr.or done me," said Miss Macphail. "The first speaker said that all woma."-, got out of politics is the chance to choose between two crooks. Well she has had pleanty of prav^tice. In the whole debate you see clearly the su- periority complex of the male. The woman who keeps one eye open wider than the other is a wise woman. She is winking at men's oddities." As for the "woman's place is the home" theory, she said: "I take It to be. She could not see that in the intrusion of beauty into the library the male undergraduates had a real grievance. "I should think the ap- preciation of beauty was one of the greatest aims of education." She did not think that woman had yet been emancipated. It is a pro- cess that is not yet completed and will not be so until the enaneipation of humanity is completed, and that will not be until personal rights re- place the property vights as the basis of society, she said. She recited a list of woman's wrongs net yet righted. Woman ciu not get equal pay for equal work. Nor did they get equal honor. In handing out political honors in Eng- land they made men dukes but did not make women duchesses. If a woman in Canada married an alien she lost her citizenship. A woman could not establish a legal domicile for a di- vorce. Thr supreme court of Can- ada had declared that women are not "persons." All the laws of the count- ries w?re based on that theory. Man had always done his best to suppress the superior type of woman who might rival him and refuse to obey him. "Through the ages man has chosen the kittenish, soft, cling- ing, pliable type which made it easy for him to hold the place his superi- ority complex told him he should have." Twisting the views of the founder of Christianity as St. Paul had .done, the Christain religion had taught for long centuries or woman's slavery that "man_ was made for the glory of God, but woman for the glory of man." Women Who Count "Hew can the great masses of women be free," she asked, 'when they have no economic independence? There are two classes of women whose ab- sence from the home no one gets ex- cited about. Tho:ie are charwomen and society women. It is when the mid- dle class women who are the mothe-'s of our most intelligent citizens leave the home that an cut;ry is made.' She said in conclusion of a speech that had more argument and just as much wit as the undergraduate funsters. "If there was a promise in woman's emancipation, it was that she would put human rights ab- ove property rights. Woman's effort along this line has been encouraging, for instance, in child welfare, edu- cation, and the movement for peace. With the current of public opinion, I am not ashamed of her record." It was neither Miss Macphail's de- bating suprviority or that galletry threat that made many debaters re- verse themselves when it came to voting.
