David Thompson notes
another thing that we never knew oppressed women (according to feminist theory):
"The mechanism here is, unsurprisingly, somewhat unclear. Possibly because enthusiasts of truck stop bacon butties rarely give much weight to the ponderings of “feminist theorists.” Even theorists who imagine that a liking for bacon or steak, or even the humble cheese sandwich, reinforces “the same system… which positions women as lesser than men.” However, Ms Edell is more temperate in her views, because,
'Animals and women are exploited quite differently in the patriarchy.'
At which point, readers may wish to imagine a world in which feminist theorists are ascendant, patriarchy has been smashed and rendered unto dust, and womenfolk, being wise and inherently benign, shun the exploitation of animals altogether, living instead on a diet of compassion and self-righteousness."

Probably because most women who live in the real world and have real lives don't buy into the feminist tripe.

My cousin has three daughters ranging in age from their mid twenties to mid thirties, all of which have been to university. The eldest is a chartered engineer and the youngest is a nuclear scientist. Strangely enough they have never mentioned feminism or feminist theory.

Sadly, they don't have the time to counter the tripe, so the trip is winning...

You've raised them right!
