ations and interpretations. It appears to me to be evi- dent that there is some underlying motivation or satis- faction present in a large number but not all males which accounts for TVism. Any of the previous exper- iences could tie into this basic motivation and activate it IF the boy or man in question possessed it. But if he did not then TVism would not result from the activ- ities so often blamed for it.

If this is true it is evident that we should look into the nature of masculinity and femininity to dis- cover what this basic motivation is, I believe it has one main stem and several contributory branches, but to tie them together requires digressing a bit to develop the basic themes.

In most aspects of life not directly connected with the reproduction and nurturing of the young of the species the males and females of most mammalian species are equal- ly capable of carrying out the tasks of life and do so practically equally. In primitive tribes of humans this is also true (in many cases the females actually do hard- er physical work than the males). In the less advanced countries of the worlc, as in the Orient, this is true even today. Only in the well advanced countries of the West do we find that the division of labor between males and females has procaded ro for that there are 1.sou- line" occupations and "feminine" occupations. With this division of labor there has been a division of human-char- acter and personality traits too--into the masculine and feminine.

Everybody born with male organs is not necessarily glandularly or tem ormentally ride or willing to conform completely to this arbitrarily determin urde of what
