annwfynI mean, really?
First we have Deborah Orr whittering about how the great flaw of feminism is that it doesn't accept that some women just want to have babies, and now apparently Caitlin Moran has written a book containing such great lines as "I don't think that women being seen as inferior is a prejudice based on male hatred of women. When you look at history" – achievements in arts, science, exploration, for instance – "it's a prejudice based on simple fact."
Is feminism's big flaw really that it is far too radical and mean and horrid and not accepting enough of a fifties model of femininity? Really?
I don't think I've felt quite so depressed since I first saw the ending of 'Basil the Great Mouse Detective'.
