Feminism

As the 20th centuary began, each and every man saw women as an underdeveloped, weak and inferior species of human, that lacked the brain power, determination and physical strength to be able to achieve anything close to what a man could.

We all know that this is non-sensical drivel, arrogant and ill informed as women have fought for equality for decades after the second world wars close in 1945.

The feminist movement began during the first world war when women proved that they could "hold the fort" as the men were sent to war. It seemed to be swept under the carpet by the returning soldiers, and forgotten until the start of the second world war, when women were called back up into action, as post women, factory workers, farmers, and anything else away from that stereotype of the cook, the cleaner and the house wife.

Women are strong and as independent as the next man, but are still fighting for equality in its drips and drapes, as the introduction of the LAD bible and UNILAD  (both of which personally I have liked on facebook for the photos they post, not the comments), seems to discriminate and divide the sexualities back into their corners again all in the name of banter. 

"Wenches n Ladz"

This new found banter scene of Lads, Ladettes, and Wenches may be in the name of banter but it shows insecurity from both sexes directed towards eachother through joke form, sure, it's seen by many as light hearted, but it promotes the wrong moral to all, and is still being openly sexist, banter or not.


This is the website "LADBible.com" and the second item I saw on it proves the given point exactly. Females here are being portrayed as items, before and after beer, yet hundreds of thousands of men havve "liked" or "follow" this page so openly promoting sexism.

As I have mentioned, I have liked the page for entertainment values, reading experiences that other "LADz" have posted in order to make myself feel better about myself, which I know full well is wrong.

All in the name of banter..... maybe not.
