![]() The former Sky Sports presenter also suggested that the Dutchman is no. ![]() She also engages with accusations that educated, white, middle-class women 'check their privilege', an argument used often to keep women in our place and entrench the inequalities of the status quo. Another book (thus far.) apparently NOT going to be published except as a thrice-damned 'kindle download'. Keys went on to insist that Ten Hag failed to deliver on his promises at the weekend. Like Julie Bindel, Helen Joyce and Helen Lewis, Dutchman-Smith confronts the trans vs women's rights debate uncompromisingly and with some much-needed clarity. So younger women are condemned to fight the same old battles anew and little gets achieved in the way of progress. Society dismisses older women's lived experience and knowledge and encourages younger women to feel that old hags aren't worth listening to and in fact are to blame for male violence and oppression because they 'screwed it up the first time'. ![]() That the roots of the generational divide in feminist thinking has its origins in the hatred and fear of witches is an extremely interesting and important thesis. I really enjoyed this (although found some of it very uncomfortable) and am very glad that this important work has been written - and written so well - by Dutchman-Smith. An insightful and energising call-to-arms. My issue is the framing of all feminist debate as a generational conflict - Dutchman-Smith tries to frame the 'gender debate' as older, more 'experienced-laden' feminists who, by virtue of hitting female milestones e.g menopause, birth, have a more wordly understanding of sex and gender than 'naive', 'accomodating' younger feminists, who do not. ![]()
