From Richard:

"She wants it seems to disempower women and reduce them to dolls again."

Eh?

Er...isn't having self-respect far more empowering, Richard? I dunno, p'raps this IS what feminism was all about..women have sex, rather than wanting love...women getting stoned, rather than being in control..women flaunting their bodies, or dancing round poles, 'cos they know that the men will be simply watching their brains, staggered at their intelligence...

Yeah, right...

Feminism = Pole Dancing! I think I got it now....

And I'm afraid that those pussycat dolls are all around us right now, not a thing of the past. I don't want to turn them back to dolls, I want to stop them being seen as dolls!


"Living Dolls analyses the increasing sexualisation of feminity and the extent to which young women are led to believe that their bodies are their only passport to success.

Far from relations between the sexes flourishing emotionally and physically, against a backdrop of mutual respect, understanding and equality, a generation of young girls is interpreting liberation as the right to behave like top-shelf models. These women, interviewed by Walter, are also committed to no-strings sex, celebrating one-night stands as notches on their designer handbags. For them, STDs are almost a badge of honour, eating disorders commonplace and men who talk of love and commitment are sneered at for "going soppy"."

The above is taken from here:
The Telegraph, January 2010 -'Feminism, what went wrong?'

Yup, we're right back here again. "Got myself a crying, talking...."



"There again she seems to want to disempower children by allowing them to skive off school so they remain ignorant and unfulfilled too."

Eh? Eh?

WHAT makes you think, or believe, that children can ONLY be 'edukated' in schools, Richard? That has always puzzled me, but heyho...I see things very differently.

"It's absurd and anti-life to be part of a system that compels you to sit in confinement with people of exactly the same age and social class. That system effectively cuts you off from the immense diversity of life and the synergy of variety; indeed it cuts you off from your own past and future, sealing you in a continuous present much the same way television does..." – John Taylor Gatto

"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die." – John Taylor Gatto
