August 2010 Podcast: Is Feminism Now A Man's Best Friend?

Author and journalist Alison Clarke discusses the return of feminism and the United Kingdom’s epidemic of domestic violence in this month’s podcast.

The founder of Women’s Views On News,an online daily women's news service providing news about women, for women and by women, gives her views on the reality of women's professional progress over the past 40 years.

She also questions why men are "so defensive" in the face of women’s demand for equality, claiming that “feminism is a man’s best friend.”
