Great point of view. Pro woman with a realistic and non-offensive aggressive bent. Nice to read a journalist with great thoughts to share. Indeed, all over the world in too many cases, women are abused, misunderstood, ridiculed and deprived of rights awarded to men. Imagine living in Saudi Arabia as a female, deprived of comfortable practical clothing and the right to simply drive an automobile. Imagine a woman being stoned to death in public, because she cheated on her husband who had been cheating on her for years. Imagine being in Africa, bearing children who cannot be cared for...often children born by the sheer aggression of men, not by a wish to conceive freely. We need to read more of these type of articles in the Canadian press.
