An idea whose time has come — Engender Truth

by NDK Creative Artist

Since I was old enough to be aware of language and its meaning I have observed that human relationships are not always what they are made out to be. As I have watched the latter half of the 20th Century unfold, and observed the growth of marketing until it practically influences everything we do I have also watched the rise of the feminist movement and the turmoil this threw society into.

Raised in the country that was the first to give women the right to vote and which has subsequently lead almost every socially progressive movement, I have grown up without the generational baggage or ideas of women being oppressed, and to this day I deplore the continuing iniquities women are subjected to, while maintaining an awareness that women are not beyond the manipulation of facts to suit their own agendas, which do not always favor those of men.

There is an imbalance in society and one of the things the Free Articulator does is look at imbalance and consider ways to redress them. At Engender Truth, you’ll find a couple of articles that address the sort of imbalance that is going on, polarizing society in ways that are not constructive, intelligent or rational and which promote and perpetuate the Gender Wars. Our very own Emmah Williams is one of the smartest women of our times, and she is challenging with gusto and the kind of determination and insight that is so often rare, the issue of the Gender Wars and her most recent articles (Why I blog, and The sexual revolution is still revolting…er…evolving) at Engender Truth are masterful examples of Emmah’s mind at work. Not because I say so, go read for yourself and you’ll see what I mean. Emmah’s writing is insightful, written with a wicked sense of perspicacious humor and wit, that mark her as a writer to watch. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how this develops and also to working with Emm on her novels.
