GOD GIVE US PARITY...
Just where are women today?
OK do not panic, this is not going to be feminist rave. Well, not quite. Have just had 5 (bliss!) minutes to myself. Ripped open this week's Time mag, went straight to my favourite page...The World, Top 10. My eyes swivelled directly to the flash regarding "Gender Equality Around the World." The World Economic Forum has just released its annual report on how 134 countries are closing the gender gap in education, politics, health and economic opportunity. No surprises for the top 5... 4 Scandinavian countries, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and.....then NEW ZEALAND!!! I will be honest, I cried. My tears had nothing to do with NZ pride. They were all about what I have had to endure, as a woman, the last 17 years, in my new home country, France. And now for a quote,  I love this country, its history, its culture, BUT, I am rather tired of being spoken about in the third person when standing next to my husband.I am sick of trying to get my bank to put my married name next to my maiden name on my cheque book. I am exhausted with dealing with men about issues which are entirely to do with me but they talk to my husband and not me, even if I am present. I am finding trite the comments about me, a woman, enjoying a glass of wine. One does not need a penis to appreciate good wine! I abhor the fact that now I am remarried I am JOINED to my husband fiscally on HIS tax return. WIERD! I simply cease to exist! I hate being paid so little compared to men doing LESS than myself and half as qualified! AND, did I mention my friend who has to get her husband's signature for an issue about her mobile telephone..its a miracle we aren't NO. 134!! Well that should give all desperate anglo housewives something to talk about for the next week. And please, DO talk! Let's "up" the female respect levels in France to modern world standards. This mama is now going to make pasta!
