“Suffragettes fought for women’s right to vote. ‘Women’s libbers’ fought for equal pay an end to a life ‘tied to the kitchen sink’.
Tough women, like Sylvia Pankhurst, campaigned for equality and demanded liberty.
Nowadays, Modern Feminists have discovered that women are, in fact ‘vulnerable’. They have decided that the world is dangerous for women. Feminists want women to be supported and protected.”

1970 Equal Pay Act: Barbara Castle’s Fight For Equality
10 Nov 2018 Leave a comment
“Castle knew then that the unions would never push for equal pay on their own and presented the case for an Equal Pay Act to cabinet. Roy Jenkins rejected the notion that it should be paid for from male wage increases. He argued that there is some hypocrisy in the people advocating it and that it was not electorally popular.Frank Cousins, the former minister for technology, and union leader had been previously heard saying ‘Of course I am opposed to equal pay’ on a trip to Russia. There was further opposition to the bill from Tony Crosland and Dick Marsh in cabinet.”
