NOBEL PRIZE WINNER DORIS LESSING SAYS LAY OFF MEN

This week, I was sent an intriguing article published in The Guardian in 2001 from Doris Lessing who won the nobel prize for literature this year.

The article entitled -   Lay Off Men, Lessing Tells Feminists can be found here (link).

Doris Lessing has commented and written a number of times noting the growth of an anti male agenda.
Rosie Boycott is another to have picked up this theme.

In her book "Heterophobia" Patai examines the rise of extreme anti male views in Feminism in the USA

Melanie Phillips too has charted the subtle rise of an extreme agenda hidden within the ideals of equity.

Many Feminists have stayed true to their ideals of equality and find this peverted by a virulent anti male chauvinism.

It was interesting to learn that the arch femixxxx, the Oxford City Councillor Antonia Bance (Labour)is now employed with Oxfam's UK Poverty Programme as head of policy and communications. Interestingly Oxfam's website states: "For Oxfam's UK Poverty Programme, it is vital to recognise that men's and women's needs and interests are distinct, for two reasons. Firstly, it is women who tend to bear the brunt of poverty, so it is a question of fairness. Secondly, being aware of the distinct needs of men and women, and acting on this awareness, means that we can address poverty more effectively." Who is influencing who, I wonder?
