Hi all

I've been discussing feminism with a lady who I work with and she recommended this site for a discussion.

As horrible as this sounds I was unaware of how severe sexism still is. I was shown the everyday sexism site and was really shocked.

It makes me feel ignorant thinking that in Britain we had true equal rights.

I'd love to educate myself further so can anyone recommend any good reading?

Well you seem to be looking for answers which don't really exist. Feminism isn't really a club or a movement. There's no charter.

I'd quite like to be treated like a human being tbh.

There are loads of blogs and sites out there, just google feminism.

I will certainly be taking an interest in the topics.

This may be a bit of a general question but what are the current main goals of feminism? How can equality be defined? Is it more women in the board room? Equal childcare responsibilities etc?

Welcome spence. I think it comes as a shock to many women too.

Take a look through the threads on this board, there are many useful links.

Sadly many thoughtful and insightful posts in this section are deleted because the thread on which they are posted has to be deleted after it descends into a big fight. It seems to be a tried and tested silencing technique.
