Hard Talk

[sammmo]

This morning about 4.45 I was watching Hard talk on TV and there was a feminist..Saying that the feminist movement has still got a long way to go to become equal with men..I personally think they have more rights than men..and 40 yrs ago she had a point.. but is there any need for a feminist movement in the UK now?

More than ever.
Who would have thought the feminist movement would thirty years on have created a Britain where the pressure on girls to be 'fit' and available sexually is greater than ever before?
The greatest ambition expressed by many young girls is to sh@g footballers.

What kind of equality have we created?

I cannot see how women are completely equal, when the work pay differs so much ?!

yes, there are many women that exploit certain rights (sexual harrassments/discrimination etc) but i cannot imagine how we are anywhere near to being an equal country/world or whatever.

As Mosiac quite rightly puts it - you only need to pick up a magazine (aimed at women!) showing half naked & picture perfect celebs -- not exactly promoting intelligence and beauty within is it.?!

All girls now want to do is be a WAG - what a sorry state of affairs where women dont even have the confidence or self worth to become something much more important.

Plus - you still always have the hyprocritical - men sleeping around is a stud, and a compliment ---- a girl does it, and she's a sl*g - an insult.


they are just a few examples

I agree that out of the uk there is a need for a feminist movement but i think feminists in this country are just moaning for moanings sake..that woman on tv was obviousy intelligent but she,s wasting her time trying to be a modern day pankhurst because hardly anyones listening are they?
