Women don't need a voice now? If the duchess announced that she had no intention of having children becuase she would rather have a career or .....just wasn't that interested in children, you can bet the boards would light up with posters tearing strips off her for her 'selfish', unwomanly choices. If she chooses to put on 20kg after childbirth and keep it on, the gloosy mags would have a field day printing pages and pages of photos of her saggy rear end, and many posters here would be gleefully contributing to the vilification (remember 'The Duchess of Pork'?)

 

You can bet your bottom dollar that, despite having chosen to marry William, there is a huge weight of expectation on her to do her job as the future queen properly, that being: shut up, look great, and push out a couple of heirs to the throne asap. That was Diana's 'job', she performed it well in the early days but look she ended up - bulimic, depressed, suicidal.

 

Let's hope that this is all Catherine wants from life, to be a thin, pretty, motherly public figure who never challenges the establishment or questions her role. Because if that all falls apart, you can bet she's going to become a woman who needs a voice like Greer's, because the press and the public will be absolutely merciless in ripping her to pieces.
