Just the fact of being female makes it your fault. Speaking from personal experience, if you're drunk and bad stuff happens you just have to live with it, and don't be surprised when the men band together to protect each other, and eventually no-one will believe you. Saying no more; too painful, too angry.
Hi, I've just been doing another catch-up on L-J (I seem to manage about one a month these days) - hope you're feeling better now?
There seems to be quite an anti-feminist backlash in America these days, which is where the above-mentioned bullshit seems to come from (nice touch using the term 'witch-hunt' by the way, that obviously makes their point so much more enlightened and PC ......... or whatever) We seem to have made more progress over here, at least as far as I can tell over the last few years; but you'll always get the odd few who like to sound clever by parroting sentiments like that - oh well, I suppose it's one substitute for having a brain!
Much better. :) Just some dragging virus or something, I guess.
I'm worried, I really am. There was an article on the front page of the Daily Mail, about doctors who refused to perform abortions, advocating that the time limit be reduced... and so much of our culture marches with America. I don't have a TV, so I can't track popular culture that way, but the movies we like aren't looking good. :(
Reducing the time limit on abortions would be all well and good as long as women could actually get one on time! I'm sure it's not the kind of op that anyone would want to drag out until the last minute; if late abortions are now on the increase, as we're led to believe, I suspect the fault lies with the medical system.
Oh well, as a certain evangelical friend of George Bush has said in his wisdom, feminism isn't actually about wanting equal rights, it's a worldwide conspiracy to turn women into child-killers, witches and lesbians ......... well, we can laugh at the idea, but there must be people out there who do listen .........
