Men are bound by the past (and present) oppression of women. It is true, as Greg Woods says, that practical politics dictates that women have to enlist the help of men in achieving equality of opportunity (God forbid we should have equality of everything: we don't want everybody to be the same). To me, this practical point is secondary to the point that it is "people lib" that counts, and pure "women's lib" is just as oppressive as what it aims to replace. Martin Taylor
