Women vs Feminism
Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Wars
By Joanna Williams | Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing
About the book
There’s never been a better time to be a woman. nbsp;Thanks to those feminists who fought for liberation, young women today have freedom and opportunities their grandmothers could barely have imagined. nbsp;Girls do better at school than boys and are more likely to go to university. nbsp;As a result, women are taking more of the top jobs and the gender pay gap has all but disappeared. nbsp;Yet rather than encouraging women to seize the new possibilities open to them, contemporary feminism tells them they are still oppressed.
Womennbsp;vs Feminism: Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Warsnbsp;challenges this stance, unpicking the statistics from the horror stories to explore the reality of women’s lives. nbsp;It argues that today’s feminism is obsessed with trivial issues – skinny models, badly phrased jokes and misplaced compliments – and focuses on the regulation of male behaviour, rather than female empowerment, pitching men and women against each other in a neverending gender war that benefits noone.
