![]() ![]() What Woolf called an 'infantile fixation' remains a prime character trait of the less fair sex still.Įven now people would rather invoke some misogynous claptrap passed off as inviolate truisms recorded in a book written centuries ago by unenlightened individuals instead of applying intellect or acquired knowledge to judge a real life scenario. The indefatigable benevolence of time has transformed many of her ardent wishes into reality not only within the confines of England but beyond.Īnd yet as I type this, there's an educated man, a graduate of India's premiere engineering institute if his profile is to be believed, insulting a feminist author on my twitter timeline by accusing her of whoring herself.Īt the expense of two dozen or more whatsapp messages and weeks worth of bickering back and forth have I managed to convince a dear friend not to use the term 'feminazi' to discredit radical feminists. Four score years ago Woolf envisioned a time when the very prospect of members of her sex delivering sermons from the pulpit will not elicit scorn or sneers, when the blonde-wigged, ageing torch-bearers of society would allow women to administer justice, climb the ranks of the distinguished Civil Service and teach young men in universities. ![]()
