The truth is, though, that the feminist zealots determined to wage this dialectical male-privilege gender struggle are but a small group of privileged women. They occupy positions of extraordinary power and influence and, under the gaze of the media, pretend to speak for all women.Share
Nothing could be further from the truth. Just as the majority of MPs are grossly out of touch with the people on Brexit, these ‘feminist’ MPs and Parliamentary staff are grossly out of touch with the majority of British women, only 7 per cent of whom would describe themselves as feminists.

The "baying, (I prefer to call it the 'braying' as in donkey), liberal, left wing media is putting pressure on the rest of us to succumb to the twists and exaggerations of the truth rather than be labeled ignorant, racist dolts.

My concern though is that some people will throw out the baby with the bathwater. I am glad for what the suffragettes fought for us to have. The far left feminists don't speak for me, but neither do folks who wish to turn the clock back to a time before women could vote.
