Note AJ — Chapter XIII · SENTIMENTAL LOVE
Reading edition
Thus capitalism has been evolved from primal communism, feudalism, industrialism, capitalism; and we are gradually verging to state socialism.
Marriage has been evolved from original permanent mating of the prehuman state to primal promiscuity, consanguine family, punaluan family, pairing family, patriarchal family, to strict female and loose male monogamy, and is gradually reaching, through the modern feminine movement, not, as some radicals seem to think, to variety, but to strict male and female monogamy.
Through the entire range of higher animals, even among the polygamous, the female is always monogamous, at least for the period between one impregnation to the other. As soon as she has been impregnated by one male, during the period of rut, she does not admit any other male until the next period, and woman is no exception. If she has the power she will force men to monogamy, but she will never return herself to promiscuity.
