is a complete escape from the problems faced by the person in daily living. A division of the personality into masc- uline and feminine elements (not male and female as these are anatomical terms not psychological) is not a splittng in the schizoid sense. It is simply a gathering together under one heading of those attitudes, emotions, mannerisms and pleasures which make up one type of personality in order that this unity can be enjoyed as an integrated whole not contaminated as it were with inconsistant portions of the opposite type. It is like a company which manufactures women's lingerie and men's work gloves deciding to set up separate plants for the production of each while retaining complete cowner ship, control and knowledge of what is going on in the head office.)))

However, I know what Virginia feels and I think that as individuals we must give expression to both our male and female psychic selves While living and earning a living as a man, as most of us do, we do not necessarily need to display any outward signs of our feminine natures Moreover, (I hope) with our understanding and insight as TVs, we are able to unite our feminine and masculine per- sonalities into one unified person. Keeping our two selves separate is like making scrambled eggs with the whites and yolks separated. Realizing that our personalities are made up from both masculine and feminine influences is a good step toward self acceptance, and using our feminine feelings with humility along with the aggressive male traits can enrich our existance greatly.

(((Ed Comment I cannot refrain from commenting further on Janet's egg analogy because I feel it is false. The egg itself is the important thing, not the method of des- troying it i.e. cooking by scrambling or any other means. The egg itself is a good analogy of our total personality because the egg itself is a totality. However within the shell there are two distinct parts, the yolk and the white which serve to different purposes: --the yolk is the living cell capable of giving rise to a new chicken, while the white is a storehouse of necessary protein food supplies
