'The lady doth protest to much me thinks' to quote from Hamlet and is n't it all so very old hat surely? We are now in the era of post-feminism and far from burning bras the fem world is flaunting them in every colour, shape and trim you can imagine both inside and ouside their tops.The brief period when butch women in dungarees and unwashed hair lead the pack has long gone; role models from Madonna to Lady Gaga have become the icons of present day youth who have absolutely no doubts about themselves. The remarkable cloning of the dream woman as a result of the cosmetic surgeon's skills: face lifts, breast enhancement, tummy tucks, botox; hair extensions, the facility for older women to dye their greying locks and of course contraception have revolutionised the way women regard themselves. I very much doubt that any amount of cross dressers putting themsels into a special purdah will have any effect on the way women's world is evolving.
