The jury is still out (probably laughing) on whether or not there is such a thing as female ejaculation. Is it simply claimed by bitter women who offer it as additional proof that they can do anything men can do or are at least some women capable of ejecting fluid at the moment of their orgasm, as men do. Is it fact backed up by evidence or just myth created by envy (or the desire to make a lot of money writing books about it)?

The sceptics claim that the idea of female ejaculation stems from the misplaced notion that, in the struggle to be seen as the equals of men, women feel they have to be able to perform all of men's functions; not only in the workplace, but in the bedroom too.

They agree that seventy years ago it was rare for women: -

to drive cars,

to receive anything but a basic education,

to pursue a career,

to vote,

to let it be known that they enjoyed sex, or

to be taken seriously in anything but child raising and housework.

Women then were regarded as they are now in the so-called developing countries; certainly as less important than men.

The sceptics say that the backlash is understandable but that the concept of female ejaculation is ridiculous. It's evidence that the pendulum representing the progress of women's emancipation in the western world has swung way too far and that it's overdue for some correction.

Being the equal of men, they say, should not involve pretending to be the same as men. Women can do some things better than men - but ejaculating during orgasm isn't one of them. 'Where's the proof?' they ask. 'And please don't insult our intelligence by pointing to pornographic, 'squirting' movies.'

Well, is there any proof that female ejaculation is a fact of life they didn't teach us at school? There's a whole lot of anecdotal support for the idea. The evidence is a bit thin but you can find some of it at Dr. Irene Cooper's web site. http://www.myfemaleorgasm.com/Female_Ejaculation.html See if you're persuaded that there's anything in it.
