Your windy response can be summed up as "no".

Um, no it can't. I called the campaign for female suffrage "laudable" but said that it was only half the battle:

"Let me put it this way. If we imagine a world where only women have the vote, do men want it too? Or do they stigmatize voting and try to organize the world in smoke-filled back rooms instead (while perhaps arranging votes as a figleaf, Putin-style)?

"I find it very interesting that Adam Curtis, in Century of the Self, shows that, during the laudable struggle of women to get the right to endorse the careers of men via the ballot box and use of "something women don't have" (the vote), showed a parallel development: the first successful PR campaign, devised by Freud's nephew, to get women to smoke. The cigarette was marketed to them as.... well, something else only men have.

"I'm personally waiting for things that only women have to become the root of marketing strategy before I call the gender war for the women."
