As a matter of fact if you look back into some ancient cultures, women did many of these things in matriarchal societies. And they even trained warriors, who weren't considered to be warriors without the training of the sacred woman teacher. Please, women have done everything men have without a problem.
I would love to email the guy who wrote the redundant article. What an ass. I couldn't find an email address. Does he expect to get empathy with the "I've been oppressed for three decades by feminists crap? Does he realise how long women have been oppressed by men? And that there is a huge difference in the oppression he describes versus the rape, torture, beatings, and whatever other horrible torments you can imagine, that women have been subjected to and are still being subjected to in some places? Oh boo hoo, your life is hard... Please |
The Handmaid's Tale is entirely fictitious (like the article at the start of this thread) and was authored by a woman.
Of course if a man had written a similar novel about men the book would probably have been banned! |
