This is not to say that all blokes whose birth certificates postdate 1970 are OK, so our struggle is at an end. Far from it. But we need to face the fact that there is a whole group of men out there who have grown up with gender equality as not just an idea but a reality as pervasive and integral as the air they breathe. My point is that the feminists of the '60s and '70s did their job and did it well, in the process moulding not only their daughters but also their sons into something new. We should surely be recognising and rejoicing in that not inconsiderable success, not continuing to penalise and punish these men for the sins of their fathers.
Generational inheritance is feminism's strongest constituency.
If we oust this select group of men from the environment in which they grew up, purely on the basis of their gender, we're getting onto the dangerous ground of replicating misogyny in reverse. Perhaps we should think about allowing them back into the rooms of our own for short visits every once in a while.
