The System Of Heroism Depends On Women

The Heart Of The Backlash Argument: Women Are Better Off 'protected' Than Equal.

The Modern Fairy Tale Ending Is The Reverse Of The Traditional One: A Woman Does Not Wait For Prince Charming To Bring Her Happiness; She Lives Happily Ever After Only By Refusing To Wait For Him -- Or By Actually Rejecting Him. It Is Those Who Persist In Hoping For A Prince Charming Who Are Setting Themselves Up For Disillusionment And Unhappiness.

The Central Argument Of The Backlash - That Women's Equality Is Responsible For Women's Unhappiness.

Social Scientists Could Supply Plenty Of Research To Show That One Member Of The Family, At Least, Is Happier And More Well Adjusted When Mum Stays Home And Looks After The Children. But That Person Is Dada Finding Of Limited Use To Backlash Publicists.

My Goal Is To Be Accused Of Being Strident.
