I do think modern women feel under pressure to be and act the same as men, to close some sort of gender gap, women boxing (and you don't get much more male than that), drinking as much as men, swearing, fighting on the frontline in wars, and so on...these are certainly not good for women and are not natural for women to be doing...but sadly feminism has pushed women into doing these things as they are conned into believing that is the only way women can be truly equal to men...I respectfully disagree with that.

BTW, before anyone says that I would want women bare foot and pregnant is wrong and I reject that too.

Men and Women can and should be equal but different, lets celebrate our differences instead of denying them.

I hear what you're saying, but: some women have always done those things. Right down to going to war, and bareknuckle fighting. Not the majority, but some. Always.

If you think Charlotte is bad, you should read some accounts of 18th century London life.


The 21st century did not invent uncouth, bawdy women. It just gave one of them a tv show
