An article from 1989. She always knew. And she was ostracised for it

She’s bloody awesome.

"The argument, my argument anyway, is that the genuine difference [between the sexes] has been obscured by a series of phoney differences. Femaleness has been distorted into femininity; womanhood has become permanent girlishness."

Ouch! So precise and exact, it hurts.

Thanks.
And even then, recognising she herself had been too kind and polite about it!

She's always been brilliant (and spiky 🙂). There's a poster here with a posting style that reminds me of her.👀😁

I love that woman. Some bloody vivid descriptions there - “be-ringed paw” 😂
