It could be that the womens liberation movement has to spend more time changing womens attitudes than it spends in changing mens。 One last question, some supporters of the womans liberation movement believed that marriages should be abolished.

17、 lighter inner tent or tents with a built-in ground sheet. The outer tent fits over the frame work. This is made of metal poles which are fitted together. The inner tent is attached to this frame. Generally, the inner tent is about half the area of the outer tent. The other half of the outer tent is
18、 the living area. This doesnt usually have a ground sheet but you can buy one to fit, though it costs extra.
