I have found this thought provoking –

And I am left wondering about the English language; we have a word for a male dominated society patriarchal, and a word for a female dominated society but I am at a loss to come up with the right word for a society in which the male and female genders are represented equally…. Perhaps the “feminist society”….

That’s the world I’d like to live in…

So true, Mary.  Women are the harshest judges of eachother.  Some of the pregnancy/birth/parenting forums I read show this to be true in almost every topic.  :(
