The important reason why men and women should work together for
"women's lib" is that there can be no one-sided liberation. 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.
