The daily mail is a dreadful paper, please take no notice. They regularly have articles like 'the have it all mothers really can't have it all' and 'look at these women who don't just want to have children.'

If there is a chance to have a dig at women (especially concerning careers or children) the daily mail has covered it!!

Let's not forget the "Is breastfeeding in public disgusting or should it be legalised?" debates, and the "Why single mothers have it easy" articles. Go Daily Mail!

And who's to say that a lowering of women's voices is down to artificiality now? Maybe in days of yore women were artificially raising the pitch of their voices to fit in with the imposed requirements of femininity, and maybe women's voices are naturally lower than the "recommended octave above men". Would be interesting to know (if anyone else has the time to look into it!)

Jeez.
