Freedom! Which is the Most Democratic Nation in the World?

Freedom! Which is the Most Democratic Nation in the World?
Yes, I agree. I think the problem is that when it comes to the internet though, female authors, bloggers etc. aren't subject to the same forms of structural censorship which still exists in the offline world- albeit subtly. They're easy targets ...

Freedom! Which is the Most Democratic Nation in the World?
Yet still, when you peer back over the whole history, you see how far we've come. In the Middle Ages, scholars seriously debated whether women had souls. A century ago, women were invited to kill themselves, to prove that they were serious ...

Freedom! Which is the Most Democratic Nation in the World?
I know- the attempt is to drive women's voices from the internet. Female journalists, scientists. authors and so on. Interesting that they all receive the same kinds of abuse and threats. Always reduced to *just* a vagina and then they are ...

Freedom! Which is the Most Democratic Nation in the World?

So we were worse on gender issues than on democracy! I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

From memory ( so I'd have to confirm this later) the UK was around number 16, I'm pretty sure that Germany was up there with Norway as the *best* in terms of freedom, prospects etc for women. The article will be published here. :)
