The editors would like to invite everybody to submit their favourite fin de siècle anti-feminist squibs and cartoons!

Excerpt from Punch

'Angry Old Buffer' complains that...

... a new fear my bosom vexes;
Tomorrow there may be no sexes!
Unless, as an end to all pother,
Each one in fact becomes the other.
Woman was woman, man was man,
When Adam delved and Eve span
Now he can’t dig and she won’t spin,
Unless ‘tis tales all slang and sin!

            Punch, 27 April 1895, 203.
