Equality for women? Don’t make me laugh : Comments

By Lin Hatfield Dodds, published 28/6/2011

Unless and until we acknowledge the inherent dignity of each person by a practical and persistent commitment to rights-based policy and practice we will never close the gaps.

Thank you, Lin
One of the things I've found odd as my daughters moved through young adulthood, is the detachment many young women have with the past. These are women who appear to find appeal to women as a cohesive political force that can continue to work for equality, 'creepy'. I (now 48 years of age) find this attitude 'creepy'. These are women who have only a measure of 'equality' that rests on shifting sand. It might disappear very quickly. There appear to be cohorts of women who don't understand that they vote, own their wages and other property, inherit and work in respected fields, not to mention have a credit card, because of the action taken by women earlier in the twentieth century.

Vanna, women surely have a right for equality in wages etc, even if they are married or not?
This article is about gender equality, not about the 'sins' of women who dare to remain unmarried!
