she was 12  Anais  when she wrote on 27 April 1915

                                                          Bouby (a doll) is the only child I shall ever have, for I want to be free, always free, I don’t want anyone except Papa and Mama to judge what I do. I want to give myself completely to poetry, to writing, to stories, but Man proposes, God disposes; I shall let God determine my future.

theres a lot there to refute or to depose

                                         stubbornly he had to remind himself that she was only 12 years old however he considered age irrelevant she had written better and saw better than many people twice her age

he had to admit he was familiar with nubile women whose commonsense and intelligence outran their years their intellect was in place well before society or culture tried to mold themtried to indoctrinate them

they were called bitches  or worse

he liked bitches

he numbered them among his best friends 

certainly their feminine raw appeal provided him an ascendant opinion however that appealtheir intellect superseded his dumb-as-a-stick muscled brotherhood who hadnt an argument  a flicker of original notoriety

Anais never did have a child

she remained her entire life free though not without some expense to herself and free to an extent that would twist many people make them uncomfortable

she was not chaste neither her mouth nor her body

she was experimental experiential  unfetteredly free

                                                         which she sought since she was 12

he thought perhaps facetiously what could have provoked her made her singularly seek her freedom was her formal name

                                                               a mouthful though not as pleasing as a mouthful of pussy or tit or cock
