Quite stealth. I wish more women felt feminism spoke to them and I wish they felt able to describe themselves as feminists. I think many (especially younger) women don't feel it's relevant to them and somehow have this view that the battle is won because we have the vote and the equal pay act. Hmm.
Bigmouthstrikesagain "If we equip our children with the awareness and critical faculties to analyse what is presented to them instead of blindly accepting whatever society, media etc. throws at them we will be doing them a great service. A feminist perspective is essential still."
I absolutely agree. While society blindly accepts Nuts and Loaded and The Sun then women will be at a disadvantage and men are being conned without even necessarily noticing it. Both are being sold a myth about women and about male/female relationships.
And no-one challenges the idea that women feel pressure to look younger for longer and longer (says she, aware of the irony as she runs a mn www 10 yy thread) - it's accepted as correct, we don't question it much anymore. We think we want beauty, say, but haven't even noticed that we've been brainwashed and told what we should want and have fallen for it.
