This always breeds a great fluster in the psyche, and the poor self-conscious individual cannot help posing and posturing.

Our ideal has taught us to be gentle and wistful: rather girlish and yielding, and _very_ yielding in our sympathies.

In fact, many young men feel so very like what they imagine a girl must feel, that hence they draw the conclusion that they must have a large share of female sex inside them.

False conclusion.
These girlish men have often, to-day, the finest maleness, once it is put to the test.

How is it then that they feel, and look, so girlish?
It is largely a question of the direction of the polarized flow.
