Yes the West has liberated women, but at what cost? In our society terms like ‘gender equality’ have only served to eradicate every last trace of chivalry without having any affect on the underlying chauvinism of a culture which remains, and always will remain, patriarchal against all our best efforts. Realistically, we’ve simply traded our old female oppression for a newer, more sinister one. So when UK media are up in arms about Iran’s treatment of our women, I find their use of words very interesting.
