Original: OPINION: ‘Men used to go to war’: how jokes are holding back feminism
The Suffolk Journal has published an opinion piece examining how the phrase 'men used to go to war' is deployed as a joke and what that means for gender equality. The author argues that dismissive humor about men's historical roles is a way of deflecting feminist criticism, and that treating such remarks as jokes allows sexist attitudes to persist without scrutiny, slowing progress on women's rights.
Why now: The article offers a fresh take on ongoing debates about casual sexism and online gender discourse.
