But I agree, feminism is an ideology on the wane at the moment, with most modern feminists spending their time in ever more minute and fanatical arguments with each other - a bit like the Trots before they all expired into nothingness! The fact that it still features on an ideologies syllabus while ecologism or fundamentalism do not suggests the usual time lapse between educationalists and the real world. When will that nice Mr. Disraeli be elected anyway...?Giles Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257512119593812010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30252872.post-35571005442837986672007-03-24T21:07:00.000+00:002007-03-24T21:07:00.000+00:00Flexitime is a bonus no matter what gender you bel...Flexitime is a bonus no matter what gender you belong to. I have it at my work and highly recommend it.<BR/><BR/>No employer would be able to offer flexitime to one sex only - if only from a legal standpoint. It would have to be offered to all employees.<BR/><BR/>And I would rather a woman waved the 'maternity stick' around than expel her blood covered spawn and soggy afterbirth all over my desk beacuse of a need to pursue true equality.<BR/><BR/>It would appear from an uninformed suburban waster's point of view that feminism is on the decline anyway.<BR/>It, like any ideology, appears to have lost it's initial impetus with nowhere really to go - having reached many of it's objectives - and has branched into more numerous, yet weaker, sub ideologies. For example, you still get the bra burners but then they would argue that sexually liberated women (slags) have returned to the traditional feminine role of spunk bucket rather than strong independent she that the woman would regard herself as. Feminism is full of infighting. Just like my office really.fofufouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800966149666166767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30252872.post-68764397042117461392007-03-18T13:39:00.000+00:002007-03-18T13:39:00.000+00:00Feminism is just a vicious cycle.

They say they want equality in the workplace but when they get it they then suddenly pick up the stick representing maternity and wave that around, making the claim that they should be given special privileges over men like flexitime because of their children, creating further inequality.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933127074596389514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30252872.post-73167029600037630242007-03-15T18:26:00.000+00:002007-03-15T18:26:00.000+00:00It's Garshell.

And thanks, 'former garshall student' (!) for the helpful reminder of just how far Germaine Greer has come on her political journey away from eulogising the 'female eunuch' and towards slobbering over androgynous young males!!

How outdated. Feminism collapsed in Berlin in 1989, as did all Cold War ideology about ignorance, isolation and power struggles. Perhaps worth noting is one of her most recent publications, "The Beautiful Boy" in 2003, that sensibly idealises spotty 17-year-old grammar school boys. Shows how far the ideology has come...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30252872.post-80145660709520037632007-03-14T09:42:00.000+00:002007-03-14T09:42:00.000+00:00here here. boy powerhere here. boy powerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
