There was one letter in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday which pointed out that there were actually some women at the Alan Border Medal ceremony on Wednesday because they could play cricket. But there was no other comment. The TV news only wanted to know about the women with pretty (but very small dresses), to the accompanying sounds of drooling TV commentators (both men and women commentators). I'm outraged at this and I'm not a feminist, so where are the feminists? They seem to have rationalised themselves into an opinion that dressing like this empowers women. With respect, I think that is rubbish, and is only perpetuating stereotypes of women as dumb clotheshorses. Is feminism dead?
