What would the surragettes have though about femininsts/society now?

I think they'd be [shocked] that progress has been so slow.

It's really

Yes, education has probably been the biggest success of the WLM. I wonder why this has been easier to achieve than other aims?

Do we think there is more or less rape and dv now than 100yrs ago?

I think there's a lot they would be delighted by. The fact that there are women in such a range of professions.
But they would be about cosmetic surgery. And Fit Flops.

I like Greer's quote, something like "We have come a long way, but the road is steeper and rockier"
She was referring to the fact that in the seventies teenage girls weren't anorexic or having boob jobs, women weren't made-up and in high heels. Porn, misogyny in the media is at an all-time high and obviously affects the rape culture. But we are gaining more power bit by bit, as long as we keep at it.

can I be blonde for a minute
but what is meant by rape culture?

I hear it alot on here

very interesting, i wondered about that pragraph 'where a convicted rapist can get a standing ovation at Cannes' who is it? Roman Polanski??
