I'm proud to see you haven't let a traumatic event define who you are as a person. Good job.
Totally agreed that feminism needs to be more outward looking at this point (and not just to muslims, there is shady stuff happening to women in other Asian cultures too).
On the pay gap, I do think there is actually a women's issue here that needs to be addressed. If there is a women's rag laying around, I'll generally flick through to take a look at the content. There is one issue I have never seen in a women's magazine, though I have noticed it in mens (which I probably end up reading less frequently).
The issue is that women never EVER ask for pay rises. Men do it all the time. Women never do. That is my personal experience. Women's media should be writing articles on how to ask for and secure pay rises, instead of how to give your bloke a five star blozza.
The really sad thing, is recently some bigdog exec made a similar observation; never in his career has a woman asked him for a pay rise... The statement was being covered by 'Womans Hour', a show on BBC Radio 4. Instead of saying 'yeah, this is a really interesting point, has anyone here ever asked for a pay rise? How did it pan out?' they all started shaming this guy as patriarchical, old fashioned and anti women.
