What you’re looking at

This page contains a letter-to-the-editor format discussing a boy who prefers wearing dresses and playing with dolls. Dr. Evans responds by labeling this "third or intermediate sexism" and recommends stage, music, or painting as suitable careers for such individuals. The editorial commentary that follows sarcastically compares Dr. Evans' advice to Army officials who recruited criminals with the condition they enlist—suggesting the advice is misguided social policy. The page concludes with "Blank Verse," a poem about maintaining emotional distance from friends and enemies, as both may change allegiances. The satire appears to mock pseudoscientific gender categorization and well-meaning but patronizing advice about nonconforming behavior.
