It does not have the buying power that a man's wages once had.<br />We have, in my opinion, all been outsmarted.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588049222095187200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459693255389523642.post-83967462127173738522010-10-16T09:20:52.934+10:302010-10-16T09:20:52.934+10:30Well we can't let 'feminsim' have anyt...Well we can't let 'feminsim' have anything other than a bit of a 'go'. and now that we've reverted back to more sensible, conservative, 'naturalistic', Darwininan ways of negotiating through the dark ages, feminism is obviously an anachronism.

All the debaters agreed that yes, the women’s movement has achieved great things, and yes, there is more to do. The introduction of a question as nonsensical as "has feminism failed" simply meant that those drafted on the affirmative said because there is more to do, feminism has failed, while those speaking for the negative said no, because the women’s movement has achieved great things, feminism has not failed. <br />All this time spent trying to frame arguments around this question could have been much more profitably spent speaking about gender issues today.fmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293358628518573479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459693255389523642.post-84410963763536898242010-10-15T16:32:56.025+10:302010-10-15T16:32:56.025+10:30I haven't been terribly impressed with the org...I haven't been terribly impressed with the organisation that hosted that event. I follow their Twitter feed and there's a lot of opportunistic jumping onto bandwagons. It doesn't bode that well when a literary-oriented org is practicing soundbite-style community engagement.lucytartannoreply@blogger.com
