Regular listeners of our Three Whisky Happy Hour podcast will know that our “Lucretia” believes the 19th Amendment should be repealed. That’s easy for her to say!
Actually, it seems a lot of people in Britain have sympathy with this point of view. From The Telegraph:
Women’s equality has gone too far, say half of Britons
About half of Britons believe that society has gone too far in promoting women’s equality and that men are now discriminated against, a survey suggests.
According to the results of the survey, nearly one in two (47 per cent) agreed with the statement: “When it comes to giving women equal rights with men, things have gone far enough in my country.”
This marks an increase on the 38 per cent who said the same last year, and a rise in the proportion who felt this way as recently as 2019 (29 per cent).
A total of 47 per cent also agreed with the statement: “We have gone so far in promoting women’s equality that we are discriminating against men.”
The research is being published as part of a global study carried out in 31 countries by the polling company, Ipsos, in collaboration with the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London for International Women’s Day, on 8 March.
And here’s the chart (it appears the U.S. a long way to go to satisfy Lucretia):
