Feminism

I read this today, and was rather intrigued. While I don’t agree with every word… I’m rather amused by the concept.

Without feminism, there would be no girls in short skirts with bare midriffs and no intelligent women with whom to discuss the meaning of modern drama. Without feminism, there would be only wives and whores and maidens, and no glorious mixture of all three. In every city, they should name a square after Gloria Steinem, and in this square should be a statue (equestrian perhaps) of Germaine Greer. Feminism has made love, or something like it, possible.

    How about this instead? “Without religious fundamentalism, feminism would have been unnecessary.”

    Good one. Personally, I’ve always been fond of the saying that a woman should be “a lady in the parlour, a chef in the kitchen, and a harlot in the bedroom”. Except I think the saying above says it far more politely.
