| Description: |
Statistics tell us there has never been a better time to be a woman but feminists are quick to point out that women are still victims of everyday sexism. This title explores what life is like for women today. It's time to ditch a feminism that appears remote from the concerns of most women and, worse, pitches men and women against each other. |
| Synopsis: |
There's never been a better time to be a woman. Thanks to those feminists who fought for liberation,young women today have freedom and opportunities their grandmothers couldbarely have imagined. Girls do better atschool than boys and are more likely to go to university. As a result, women are taking more of the topjobs and the gender pay gap has all but disappeared. Yet rather than encouraging women to seize thenew possibilities open to them, contemporary feminism tells them they are stilloppressed.Women vs Feminism:Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Wars challenges this stance,unpicking the statistics from the horror stories to explore the reality ofwomen's lives. It argues that today'sfeminism is obsessed with trivial issues - skinny models, badly phrased jokesand misplaced compliments - and focuses on the regulation of male behaviour,rather than female empowerment, pitching men and women against each other in anever-ending gender war that benefits no-one. Feminism today doeswomen no favours and it's time we were all liberated from the gender wars. |
