It is easy to adopt a scientific style which tends to harshness; which overlooks the finer elements in human nature and treats men and women as if they were machines Or animals: On the other hand it is equally easy_~and equally false-~to drift into sentimentality and ignore the realities on which the life of sex is necessarily founded.
