Britain Allowed Soft Socialism To Gain A Foothold This strain of anarchy did not die when women secured the vote in the UK in 1918, but remained at the heart of every social justice movement women were involved in.

The British suffragettes, on the other hand, quickly descended into anarchy and outright hatred of men, with many sympathetic to social justice, wreaking havoc across London and other cities. The approach of French suffragettes was also more refined. WomenвЂ™s suffrage was encouraged by the Catholic clergy in France, as they knew that women were still influenced by their local priests and husbands. LetвЂ™s compare the behaviour of British suffragettes to their French counterparts. Queen Victoria may have called womenвЂ™s rights a вЂњdangerous follyвЂќ, but the burgeoning suffragette movement, consisting of well-to-do ladies, unleashed the poison which Wollstonecraft had wanted to do some 100 years previously. Britain Is Feminist Ground ZeroД«ritainвЂ™s rigid class system has been the perfect breeding ground for insidious ideologies like feminism. I believe it has always been the case in Britain that women have had the upper-hand in marriage, but due to the social dynamics shifting dramatically, coupled with the decline in Christian social conservatism after WWII, itвЂ™s become more pervasive. From films such as вЂSailor, Beware!вЂ™ (1956), the long-running and still highly popular soap opera вЂCoronation StreetвЂ™ (1960 вЂ“ onwards) which, from its inception, portrayed a plethora of domineering women, to comical seaside postcards from the late Victorian era. The husbands would very rarely spend any time away from their wives for fear of retribution.Дespite being so obsequious, to the point of turning into clones of Uriah Heep, the wives would always complain to their friends about how lazy and stupid their husbands were, irrespective of these husbands, especially the Baby Boomers, working long hours and still concentrating on keeping the garden in shape and fixing up the house during weekends.ДЇor those of you thinking the bossy wife and hen-pecked husband is a recent phenomenon, then you only have to take a look at British culture to see this has been a present theme for over 100 years. They would generally be down-trodden, subjected to decades of tirades and tantrums from their wives, they would neglect friendships, sometimes allowing lifelong friends to slip into oblivion, because they placed their wives on pedestals and treated them like Goddesses, attending to their every whim. The husbands would be described as the head of the house, but in name only.

In stark contrast, my British relatives and their friends, ranging from working to lower middle class, always had, what appeared from my perspective, odd marriages.

For example, all of my male relatives would spend time with their friends, there was no need for clock watching or fearing they would get a thrashing because they were neglecting the little woman at home. The Eastern side had very defined male and female roles, husbands and wives were not in each otherвЂ™s pockets but had an equal balance of a life together and a life apart, which made for healthier marriages. Growing up in a family that had a mix of Eastern and British roots, I was able to witness the differences between how husbands and wives behaved with each other. Today, this has reached the point where, if I walk down any street in any town or city, I will see many a slim and in shape man holding hands with an ungrateful land whale in a tight fitting top and вЂњjeggingsвЂќ. The majority of British men clamour for female attention and only feel validated once they have secured the attention of a woman. The bossy wife and hen-pecked husband have been a mainstay in British entertainment for many decades.
