A purely "female" animal
1931. In the same way the beings in which the feminine pole is the dominant factor are "female animals". Since the feminine pole in these beings, in the same way as the masculine pole in the male animal, does not accommodate any interest or desire whatsoever outside the principle of mating, its spouse and offspring – the masculine pole here constituting the organ for the intellectuality and being latent or at its least developed stage here – the "female" animal is thus a being that as regards consciousness is equal to the "male" being. In both of them only their copulatory state and drive for self-preservation is developed. There is no question of intellectuality.
