My great grandmother a legend in the family for raising six children on a Six Counties farm when widowed in her 20s in 1890. I guarantee you come near any of us with any kind of stick and you'll be making an appointment with a proctologist or general surgeon to have it removed. Depending on how far it went it. No white knights on chargers needed. Women are NOT delicate flowers. We do NOT need that kind of "protection". We don't need women (and their achingly progressive suitors) to tell us that some film from nearly 70 years ago and set nearly 30 before that is "wrong". We want our daughters brought up to believe they are equal. In EVERY sense. Part of that is being able to stand up for yourself and knowing the difference between an admittedly excellent film from the 50s and current behaviours and sensibilities. Misogyny and misandry are two identical sides of the same pathetic coin. Neither comes out covered in glory but yet one is laughed off.
