"Let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism-the lie that ..." — Robin Morgan

The young women waking up to feminism now already wake up to more consciousness than my generation had. Even just simple things like equal pay - before you went, in my generation, and asked for a raise, you went through nausea and your palms sweating.

Should we tolerate debate within feminism's ranks? Undebatable! But it's not so simple: women are socialised to avoid conflict; when we do differ, especially on politics and in public, it's still tediously labelled a 'catfight.'

Women born and raised on this fragile planet have more uniting us than dividing us - and it's the job of feminists to help us realise that.

Feminism is for all women and girls, not a privileged few or one ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference, ability, region or hemisphere.
