I could not find any online copy’s other than episode 1 of the series which was used as an intro teaser to the 2015 remake with Carrie Mulligan.

My goal is to see and treat all humans (male, female, trans, black, white, etc.) with respect, kindness, and equality.

Just as racism is real, so is discrimination of women. We can differ in melanin or genitalia, but all people deserve a place at the table and a share of the resources. Labels and identity seem to divide rather than unify us.

When we lost the goddesses and moved to one male god, I think was damaging to how women are viewed and established the rationale for patriarchy.

The Dimocraps so disappointing...all they got is identity politics and we're not Trump. So sad they can't focus on policy and push for things that help all people like M4A, $15/hr, free college, and so on. One more item for your list....wearing a pussy hat doesn't make you a feminist.

Years ago Masterpiece theater broadcast a series called Shoulder to Shoulder about the women's struggle for the vote in the UK. It was brutal. I looked for this series all over and it isn't available anywhere. At any rate it was my awakening to the severity of the struggle.

All the best with your travel. Be safe!

. . . that an excuse for keeping women from being allowed to go to college (way back, not recently) was for their own good -- because during menses, the blood necessary for learning leaves the brain and exits the body and the lack of blood in the brain while learning would cause them to faint which could injure them when they fell.

Whatever it takes, I guess. Sigh . . .

I think a lot of people misunderstand what feminism is, and what it is meant to achieve. Particularly the argument that men and women are not the "same". As I've said in other contexts, we are actually more alike than we are different, but let's put that idea aside for a minute. Ok, so in terms of "genitalia and muscle mass", we are not the "same".

It’s critical to understand that “same” does not mean “equal.” The issue here is about equal rights and equal access to opportunities. Men and women don’t have to be the “same” in physicality to have the right to equality. I’d love to see that argument (that women and men aren’t the “same” so they can’t be equal) disappear forever. From my view, it’s a misguided one.

Here’s an example of why: If there were two young boys in a classroom, and one was physically weaker and smaller than the other, would we believe it’s right to keep the weaker, smaller boy from having the same access – to the teacher, to learning, to the computers, to the books and class resources, to other children in the class -- because he didn’t have the same physical strength as the other boy?

At its most basic, I always viewed the history of feminism as a movement to gain access to the things we have traditionally been cut off from. Like voting, ownership of land, ownership of our own business, education, and pursuit of a career of our choice (just to name a few). The Suffragettes were feminists, yet at the time they were smeared as "hysterical" (a term itself that has a history of misogyny) and at the same time distinctly "unfeminine" (what a mind bender that piece of logic was, eh?)

Equal access is not a terribly difficult idea to process, and yet it gets muddled and misused any number of ways (the T-Shirt slogan being one of the more milder forms).

Growing up in the seventies, at the age of 10 years old, I thought "feminism" meant I could be anything I wanted, smoke Virgina Slims cigarettes, and have my own voice...

We've come a long way, baby?

computer science it is explicitly understood that "equivalent" is a stronger kind of equalness than "equal". Two things can be equal without being equivalent.
