It's worth pointing out that, even if women have been "liberated" in many countries, they are also
not liberated in many others.
So, here are my two cents on the subject as a whole.
I'm personally as disinterested as they come when we talk about the benefits of non-discrimination, like access to jobs or legal settlement. I'm more concerned, in a sense, about the link between sex and gender. This article might be of interest:
Metrosexual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think that, if you can remove that link between sex (male or female) and gender (man or woman)--indeed, if you can remove the notion of gender altogether--from the minds of the masses, then there won't be any gender wars, because one's sex will no longer have a strong bearing on one's role in society.
Isn't that, after all, what sexism
is? To assume a gender, a social construction, based on a sex, a biological fact?
