Thus I found your comparison to be very interesting and refreshing in the sense that it is not one commonly made. It also is intriguing to see that they have a majorly female parliament but this does not magically change the reality of women's every-day lives.<br />Flamingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658186154646374778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302245627574027504.post-78732430186492552802016-09-19T20:16:10.549-07:002016-09-19T20:16:10.549-07:00The contrast you expose between the political and ...The contrast you expose between the political and the 'cultural reality' is very interesting and very important. This makes me appreciate the grassroots-ness of our feminist and women's movements despite US women's lack of representation in government. However, it also encourages all of us to understand the full effect of the 'top-down' or 'bottom-up' approach, and decide which way we want to tackle which problems in our society. I'd never thought of the approach to a movement as a choice, but of course it is: perhaps one way is better for some contexts, while being detrimental in others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192921782376440109noreply@blogger.com
