Among the many positive statements made by Dr Anna Holmes at the forum on 'Sexuality and Marriage', I was delighted to hear one on Women's Liberation. Dr Holmes made it clear that many women's libbers in their quest for liberation have merely sought and taken over masculine ideals and roles. She likened this to the Paulo Freire notion of 'internalising the oppressor', liberation through becoming like the one who oppresses you.

When women go about this intemalising the male ideal there arises an equality and similarity between women and men that implies they can interchange at any time, it also implies a loss of individuality for women. (The direct inverse of liberation). Perhaps this kind of internalisation of man is symbolised by women now wearing men's three piece pin-striped suits? Whatever, the conclusion seems to be that woman becomes fully liberated when she acts in accord with what she most fully Is — specifically woman not a male impersonator.
