Ms TRISH DOYLE (Blue Mountains): I will make a brief contribution in support of the motion moved by the member for Swansea. I have not heard the word "feminism" used in this debate. I am a proud feminist and on International Women's Day we celebrate many of our achievements across our great country. We also have to work very hard to invoke what the wonderful Joyce Stevens said, and to encourage young men and women to step up and recognise the world for what it is. The member for Londonderry said it is also important that we grow our young men into good feminists. I also refer to a very good woman, Margaret Jones, my warrior woman, who came into my life and encouraged me to stand up and speak out. Joyce Stevens wrote "Because We're Women":

   Because our work is never done

• and under or unpaid or boring or repetitious
• and we're the first to get the sack
• and what we look like is more important than what we do
• and if we get raped it's our fault
• and if we get bashed we must have provoked it
• and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches
• and if we enjoy sex we're nymphos
• and if we don't we're frigid
• and if we love women it's because we can't get a real man
• and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy
• and if we expect community care for children we're selfish
• and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and unfeminine
• and if we don't we're typical weak females
• and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man
• and if don't we're unnatural
• and because we still can't get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon
• and if we can't cope or don't want a pregnancy
• we're made to feel guilty about abortion
• and for lots and lots of other reasons
• we are part of the women's liberation movement.
