Bonsoir Mme Mousie! I have just read & answered your very recent comment to mine.
On yout subject here, as a 'bloke'who adores women (definitely my favourite gender for zillions of reasons I won't go into :-), and not the slightest patronising) and is probably as much an honorary member of the sistahood as anything else, i will offer this one small contribution:
women have come a long way in some places (only) and in some ways (only), but until men stop holding most of the cards and until there is true equality of opportunity and treatment, then all women will only be able to live a part-citizenship, in fact a sub-citizenship. And that, in my book, ain't good enough! Now, whaddya think of that one?
