But we've moved on from that
those were bad times, and we're all glad things have got better. No-one wants to go back to when women were delicate china objects. But still there are standards to be maintained, and people like Beth Ditto do nothing either for women, the obese or lesbians

Quite probably :)
I'm a feminist obviously. But I don't actually think that equality has anything to do Beth Ditto and her ilk. I was raised to believe that the way I behaved would reflect on who I represented.

And it's people like Beth that pushed the bounderies so that you could come on here and talk about cock and breasts and not be castigated for it.

No it isn't people like Beth
Beth is doing what is right for Beth. Not for women. She can't really be compared to a suffragette

that's like saying
that P. Diddy is a role model for black people with his outstanding work on blurring racial lines in his videos

I didn't say that Beth was comprable to a suffragette.
You're not getting it.

We can carry on this conversation when we meet up if you like because we'll be running out of thread soon.

Edit - It did sound like I said that but that is not what I'm trying to say.
