So I've been having a happy feminist week, buoyed up the successes of the #FBrape campaign and Chime for Change (Laura Bates is my hero Grin). It was so wonderful to to hear good news on my various feminist feeds for a change.

But since then, here on MN, I've been arguing debating with women who think that a woman whose husband refuses to do any housework should just STFU and get on with doing it herself, and who think that because men are physically stronger, this means that women are inferior and there's no point in trying to achieve equality in any area (even ones where physical strength is completely irrelevant).

Sigh. While victories are lovely, it doesn't take long for reality to set back in, does it? Sad

Well,I, for one, found it all very informative. I didn't realize that the reason the has only ever been one female prime minister, and there ar no women Bishops is that men are physically stronger than men. It's all become clear to me now.

And it's important to remember that there a lots of jobs that men just can't do because their willies get in the way. You just don't understand how hard it is for the poor dears to reach the sink......
