I could wax lyrical about feminism for hours and I love getting stuck into a good debate about it. It's not something I am totally black and white about, there's definitely a big grey area to figure out, but as long as we can sensibly and intelligently engange in the conversation - thats's the main thing!<br /><br />I think this post maybe reads a little negative with hindsight, especially since reading about the violence that occured at the IWD march in Eqypt... It's easy to forget that while inequalities still exist, we are lucky to live somewhere we can express our disatisfaction freely.<br /><br />ANYWAY cheers again gals :) xxKirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092137248363682319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391053660327974900.post-6577338348259753202011-03-09T19:11:47.541+00:002011-03-09T19:11:47.541+00:00This is such a great post, and a great read.

I get fiercely offended by the ENDLESS disrespect and degradation of women every day. I am so fearful for young girls today. they have to face so much...<br /><br />"But the fact remains that while it is possible to live with real choices and options, many (most?) women still feel that the perpetual glass ceiling exists, and that all too often choices actually manifest in reality as ultimatums: Family vs work. Relationship vs career. Mother vs lover. Integrity vs desirability. Respect vs objectification.... "<br /><br />So much truth in that.<br /><br />Keep up the good work on your blog xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391053660327974900.post-64398431725232565562011-03-08T18:51:23.593+00:002011-03-08T18:51:23.593+00:00AH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is a post i needed to ...AH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is a post i needed to see today. I have been SO frustrated, the amount of blatantly ridiculous remarks that I've heard -from both men and women... I feel as though the world just doesn't understand! I don't claim to be a feminist but come on! The whole 'get back in the kitchen' jokes are just derogatory, the way in which people are conditioned into thinking that men are superior and let them do pretty much whatever the hell they want frustrates me, I just want to flippin' scream haha! <br />Sorry to be ranting on your post but it was just so perfect to read after my day haha :)<br />I have received a load of flak today for standing up for something i believe in (my rights as a woman) and I'm appalled at the way society works in favour of males; I am completely in awe about how you have wrote this because if i'd have tried it would have come out so aggressive and ranty! You write so eloquently and I love reading your posts :D <br />I really think you should do more posts like this, more people need to be aware of the 'explicit and implicit disrespect' that is literally everywhere when you begin to realise and look around.<br /> thank you again :D<br />xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
