"History is a commentary on the various and continuing incapabilities of men. What is history? History is women following behind with the bucket." [Mrs Lintott, "The History Boys" by Alan Bennett]

From the cave to the pole?
This wonderful cartoon image by Australian illustrator Matt Davidson says something about the achievements of feminism since the days of the cave-persons. It is amusing, but also rather alarming. What would the sufragettes have thought about a generation of women who think that sliding around almost naked on a pole is some kind of achievement for female equality? Are we in danger of joining a slippery slide back to the caves? The article by Ardyn Bernoth that accompanies the cartoon can be read here.
