For once a highly relevant topic!

Some of those femenists are quite rabiate, and will disregard good sense with quite disasterous results. Here in Denmark we've had some weird ideologies that didn't take off, but fortunaly was quelled. It was including 50/50 gender at the board of directors and such, which would disregard both qalification and motivation, which is unsound policy, but many feminists will only see their own sickly ideologies.

I can't get into these back issues because when I try to log in it says I have to contact PN to create an account but when I email I don't get a response.

But at least I learned one new thing - 'rabiate' = 'rabid'

You must buy a digital subscription to PN. Its a great value. You get access to all issues that have been published.

Thanks, and I did just get a response from my latest inquiry - I probably had the wrong e-mail before.

Not necessarily as it could just mean preferring an equally qualified female over their male counterpart.
