The more that modern society tries to proscribe femininity, the more that many females – especially younger generations – appear unhappy. Might there be a link?(!)
Last week, there were two stories in relation to this that caught my attention. We had Dame Jenni Murray urging us to ban girls from wearing skirts at school, supposedly for their own good. Young women are subjected to sexual harassment and banning skirts would somehow solve this problem, Murray told us (I would have thought teaching young men to treat young women with dignity and respect would make more sense rather than controlling what those females wear, but it seems I am behind the feminist curve on this; I am also not a grand dame).
