'Has feminism gone too far', Channel Four, Friday February 3rd 2006As promised, here are some of the best quotes from the documentary: "If women are unhappy, we need to stop whinging, stop blaming men and society, stop playing the victim, stand up and say the unsayable: Women are ruining it for themselves." "Working like a man has another consequence: Men don't like it. At least the kind of men you'd like to spend your life with don't like it." Fay Weldon, Feminist writer "I don't think you should be blessing women of my generation, I think you should be cursing us." "Has feminism gone too far? If you're a woman who wants to be a man then it hasn't gone far enough. If you're a woman who wants to be a woman it has gone too far." Dr Susan Brewley, Consultant Obstetrician, St Thomas' hospital, London. "The problem is that people think because we are healthy and live longer somehow our reproductive health goes on longer. But the truth of the matter is that your best time for fertility is between 20 and 35." "People don't know just how fantastically ineffective IVF is." "We think that the fact that women are having their children older out of the normal and best range is a public health problem." When Dr Brewley, with Melanie Davis, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at University College hospital, London, wrote an article in the British Medical Journal expressing these concerns they were pilloried for it by the feminist-indoctrinated media. Sandra Davis, Head of family law, Mishcon De Reya Solicitors (a London law firm) "I think there has been a trickle-down effect. With the current state of the law, in the context of short marriages, where the woman can expect a sizable payout after only a short period of time if the husband is wealthy, I think it's created a ground-swell of anxiety in men, and it is certainly, in my experience, putting men off getting married at all."
