ORIGINAL: Zonie63 There is a lot of truth to this... Once upon a time, women were expected to not read certain books because their minds couldn't cope with them - the general consensus in that age. It's certainly an example of the comprehensive subjugation of women. Time has shown that oppression is certainly not the preserve of 'class'; oppression comes in all shapes and sizes. It would only take a cursory glance at history to spot the second class status of women in many spheres, if not all in any arena where men and women are competing. Not that I particularly care, I'm not militant about these things, just an observation which to me is as clear as day. I don't think women help themselves at time because even today they continue to be led down a path by men. Put yourself forward as consumed by shoes, hair and the rest of it; then yeah you'll be seen as dolls lacking a decent set of brain cells.
