Feminists seem to have gone quiet giving the impression that women are happy with the movement's achievements. How can this be when approximately 70 percent of the world's 1.3 billion poor are women, women hold only 10.5 per cent of the seats in the world's parliaments and of 185 high ranking diplomats to the UN only 7 are women. Surley women cannot be happy with the current state of affairs. I can only speak for myself and being male am not best qualified. On the surface things appear to have changed.
Women seem to have more opportunities and freedom.
Women are able to do the same things as men, drink, smoke, see the Chipendales, go to the gym, box and so on. But this so called equality, is it what is wanted as men are as trapped in these roles as women have been in theirs. Do women want to become men. Perhaps what we all need is liberation. This is a line that opens Germaine Greers book and is something that is the essence of truth.
