Well dane, the competitiveness that women feel for one another extends to the produce of their bodies and no, it is not rooted in an androcentric social system, quite the opposite I would think. The author is putting the slipper into other women telling them how superior she is to them because they are allegedly doing wrong by The Sisterhood.

This is why young women fly from these feminist dinosaurs, because they are forever being criticised and patronised by the angry old fusspots and being told to feel thankful. How can one get any more petty than to have a pink fit over a colour and to sledge young mothers for not making their own children's wear - because that is what it takes to increase their choice where the major suppliers have limited lines.

Again, will the 'real' feminists please stand up.

I sincerely hope this is intended as a spoof.

If not the author is one sad puppy.

Poor Monica, all that outrage and nothing to aim it at.

I think pink is one of the lesser emcumbences children have. What about their religion being decided for them, what colour is that.

Made me think of 'Rob Roy' where all the male aristocrats were dressed up in pomp and ceremonial makeup, frilly shirts and emobroidered coats. They were very pretty indeed with their white curly wigs.

Fashions come and go but men and women will still be different no matter how we try to re-package the goods.

Pink is pretty but I dont like her music much and i think she's a lezzo but that dont matter
