Sexual Harassment?
Fay Weldon, the author, and playwright has risked the wrath of feminists by claiming the movement was bad for most women and argued that what is now seen as sexual harassment was once viewed as ‘welcome attention.’
Weldon, 85, said that the feminist movement shrank the male wage so that men can no longer support a family, forcing more women into the workplace to meet the shortfall.
In an interview in The Mail on Sunday’s Event magazine, she said she was still in favor of the ‘bloodless revolution’ that was feminism but argued that it benefited only one in three women. Most women were forced to work, and leave the raising of their children to nursery teachers, she said.

“By going out to work they halved the male wage, so a male wage no longer supported a family,” she said.
“So women had to go out to work to support the family. So for two in three women it really was a problem.
“The advent of the nursery has been awful. Because it’s so convenient because you don’t have the responsibility of bringing up your own child. You put its care, its information, its understanding into the hands of someone else.”
Weldon, who releases the sequel to her seminal work, The Lives and Loves of a She-Devil, next month, said that women had to stop thinking of themselves as victims.
