I sometimes wonder what on earth has become of women’s liberation. Was it all about having the freedom to drink and have sex as freely as the lads? Or was there a deeper sense of equality?
Back in the 1970s they were rightly picketing the ‘Miss World’ contest for treating women as meat. Now they are supporting ‘Victoria’s Secrets’ lingerie catwalk.
Doesn’t this seem strange to you?
What a strange world we live in. I was listening to the debate on women’s hour today concerning the Victoria’s Secrets lingerie presentation.
Society seems to be remarkable confused concerning sexual matters.
On one hand we have the sexualisation of young girls who are encouraged to purchase uplifting bras and buy sexy pink knickers with NAUGHTY written on them and on the other hand we have draconian safeguarding where normal nonsexual touch is now a criminal offence, no photos of children can be displayed, and as a male you cannot talk to or look at children without being accused of being a paedophile. The courts and media have paedophiles being wheeled out of every closet.
What is going on?
Perhaps we should have a non-hysterical debate?
Perhaps we should support a new positive zeitgeist?
