Women must stop being ‘second sex’

In order to have true equality, women need to stop thinking of themselves as the “second sex” and being “bitches” – that is the message of writer and critic, Hannah Betts.

We know men do it (trolling) to women, far more men, one should note,” Hannah Betts said. “There is hardly a female in the public eye, however marginally, who has not felt this venom,” she continued. “But the revelation of cases such as that of the feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez and the swimmer Rebecca Adlington is that women are laying into other women equally savagely.
In July 2013 Criado-Perez became the focus of a torrent of Twitter abuse, receiving 50 rape and/or murder threats hourly for two days.
Two people pleaded guilty to the offence: one a woman, Isabella Sorley, then aged 23.

Jonathan Bishop, known in politics as Dzon, is a Women’s Studies researcher and says that Hannah Betts is spot on with her analysis. “The fact is, there is equality staring us all in the eyes on the statute books, but it seems feminists like Caroline Criado Perez would rather we were still in the 1930s where men had more rights than women,” he said. “Caroline Criado Perez asserts she wants more rights for women, and that is why she is being targeted by trolls, because they see her as a hypocrite.
If Caroline Criado Perez were to adopt the philosophy of those in women’s studies – that women should be equal to men and vice versa – then Caroline Criado Perez could start to accept her failings as her own and not blame men because she wants a cause to fight that has already been won in law!
