Eddy Terstall discussed the Netherlands in a series on the political divide, writing about Dutch culture and the country as an autonomous state. He also said that the Netherlands had more to do with the future than with its origins. In a later contribution to the series, he turned to feminism and addressed what he called religious patriarchy, which he said some feminists appeared to find difficult. He described feminism as noble and said his mother had been and remained a feminist.
