HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO FLOG A WOMEN?

“…. If seduction is to go unpunished, there is no safety for any circle of society. We must either adopt the French plan of locking up unmarried girls, or pursue our own method, of letting men pursue their own inclinations at their own cost. So far as appears, the temper of the public at the present time is in favor of the latter alternative; even the most conservative and law-abiding men justify the homicide of seducer or adulterer; and, by parity of reason, vindicate the persecution of either by the unhappy woman who has been their victim.”
