Julia Baird (SMH 19th January - "The high cost of losing our
religion") laments that the enlightened activists and feminists of the
70's did not take the time to revolutionise the churches at the same
time as changing society.
Excuse me, but what I see now are magazines telling teenage girls what
to eat, wear and do in order to please their boyfriends. Prominent
businessmen and sportsmen marry blonde models rather than challenging
life partners. The lifestyles and life responsibilities of most women
haven't really changed much since the 70's. Symbols of passive women
as objects abound.
Maybe Julia Baird should spend more time re-energising feminism and
worrying about falling attendances at her church of feminism.
