The Bitter Pussy

... and it's not pussy as in cat, I'm talking about.
I went to the theatre this weekend to see "The Bitter Pussy", which was a stand up show that skewered the difference between men and women, and pointed out all the many places where men and women are still not equal.
Ditte Hansen, a Danish actress, was alone on stage, and she did a great job. The show was based on a Swedish book that was published last year ("Bitterfittan"). It's about what often happens when two persons with each a career in front of them have a child, and what happens with equality. It's about politicians who make laws in lots of minor areas, but who thinks "equality needs to change with people's attitudes!!" It's about how "we have equality" despite the fact that women have wages that are generally 18 % below men's. It's all about equality between men and woman - and it was very well made.
Like she states:
"Behind every successful man stands a woman with a part time job. Behind every successful woman is a divorce!"
Too bad there were so few men in the theatre.
