Half a BRAIN required. (LINK)

Fiona McCade from the Times on line, UK says - When I was young and naive, I believed that all women should unite in the sisterhood of feminism, to make the world a better place for us and our daughters. Now, I'm not so sure. I'm still all for the sisterhood, but I think there should be an entry requirement and it should be the possession of at least half a brain. So the first females I'd like to blackball from the universal togetherness of womankind are the three Tolland sisters from Dunbartonshire, who apparently can't muster half a brain between them.
The Tollands are avid players of swamp soccer, which evidently involves rolling around in mud. Until now, men have been allowed to play bare-chested, but women have had to cover up - the minimum clothing requirement up top being a bra. In the name of equality, the Tollands are demanding the right to compete topless in this year's tournament in Strachur, Argyll.
Pamela, 26, Lisa, 18, and Joanne, 16 (so any spectators daring to watch her will be carted off immediately by the vice squad), obviously subscribe to what I call Male Fantasy Feminism,
in which misguided females get furiously indignant and demand so-called equalities that every man in the world (and all the women with half a brain) can see pander completely and precisely to the most cherished fetishes of any self-respecting male chauvinist pig.
Not that the Tollands are alone in their blind foolishness. Many respectable feminists have made such rookie mistakes. Take the Pill, for instance. Who really won there? In the 1960s - after centuries of powerlessness, but at least being able to use sex as a bargaining tool - suddenly women were saying: “I can sleep with anybody, me! I'll take all the responsibility for contraception and guarantee I won't get pregnant into the bargain!” So the blokes said: “Prove it.” And, lo, some silly heifers did.
As for bra-burning, where did that get us? Men got to ogle more bare bosoms than ever before; we got a few years of fresh air around the baps before our nipples hit our knees. Of all the totems of femininity, I maintain that there is nothing more empowering than a well-fitting bra.
The Tollands are hurtling straight into Male Fantasy Feminism territory, but now weary swamp soccer officials say the only way to achieve gender equality sensibly is for the men also to wear tops. The lads won't like that, but if they're forced to cover their modesty, they could do worse than wear some trusty brassieres.
The article goes on to discuss the follies of modern females and we see PLENTY of it around here. When are such STUPID females going to wake up?
Unfortunately, most can't satisfy the half brain requirement
