Feminists wanting equality.

http://www.news.com.au/comments/0,23600,21982532-2,00.html To start off with, here’s a recent article about an all-women political party that has been released on Wednesday. Some of the comments are interesting, but personally I do not see the point in having an all one gender political  party. If what people are fighting for is equality, then they should be practising equality. I went to a co-ed school and found it good for me socially. I felt more comfortable talking to the guys than I did the girls. I do not believe that we should be trying to fight for equality by making a gender specific party. This in my opinion, is a step backwards and not forwards towards the aim that these people supposedly want. We both have different qualities that enhance each others lives, and when e find things that seem to quash these things, we should enjoy the struggle. In working together, will we only be able to achieve the aim of equality. By segregating, we are doing just the opposite, so it seems fruitless to me.


I went on an Officeworks spree last night for next semester. Also opened up my email today to find information about Honours program when I finish this degree. Very chuffed about that. Anyway, am going to go and read it a bit more thoroughly. BFN
