@MsDropbear42@infosec.spaceI just watched this gem https://iview.abc.net.au/show/made-in-dagenham & absolutely loved it. I knew nothing of this massive watershed moment til now, but expect that women 5 or 10+ years older than i might remember it from their younger days. Anyway, IMO this dramatisation / recreation of it is fabulous, & was accompanied by copious gasps from me at the breathtaking #patriarchy, #MaleEntitlement, #sexism & #misogyny, then whoops & roarrrrrrs at each brilliant thing the women achieved. Sensational. 
it’s a great movie, innit?
yes, the world/ australia was actually much worse then (which is why the return to <old values> in USA is so threatening - no thanks peter dutton we don’t want that)
actually, the good old days were really shit. i am a feminist cos i grew up female in australia in the “good old days”
but movies like this provide perspective, too, cos i’m really sick to death of people whingeing about boomers and not acknowledging that some of us did/do actually stand for something.
the “problem” (all our problems) began more than 3,000 years ago when monotheism took hold, not inventing but definitely validating the notion <some lives have more value than others>.
change continues to fall short/give us more of the same, because of this deeply entrenched cultural belief.
soz. just ranting — will get off my soap box now.
@MsDropbear42@maudenificent @Spoon Noooo, never stop, stay right there! Rrrroarrr!
