Ruth and David... my remarks about my view of what Lizzie was saying, were a bit off topic and I apologise for that.

However perhaps I could explain what I meant.

I feel women may be better off and better educated today....well those with the chance to take up higher education may be, but as far as a making a "career for themselves" is concerned women have simply swopped "slavery" to their children and home, for slavery to the economic system.

Many women are now the main breadwinners in a family and as such are manipulated into mortgages, insurances, credit and all the tricks used by capitalism to rob people of a life.

Many women have also lost their most precious purpose, the nurturing of their children.

Every where we see children, even young babies dumped in creches, left with father, or dumped on long suffering relatives.

All this, not to emancipate women, but to confinethem in the same shackles filled by their hasbands for so long.

If women really want to be free to fulfill themselves completely, then, as in every other facet of life, the system must be changed.
