I guess the men of Iceland will have to get used to the idea that women are not for sale, ~ Gudrun Jonsdottir
I don't want him to pity me. I don't want him to see what I look like when I do something for the first time. I don't want anyone watching me change. I will do all my changing in private. In public I...
I am getting incredibly high on a single, astounding fact: that it’s always sunny above the clouds. Always. That every day on earth—every day I have ever had—was secretly sunny, after all. However shi...
Heaven. The biggest waste of our time we ever invented, outside jigsaws.
Hearing women singing about themselves - rather than men singing about women - makes everything seem suddenly wonderfully clear, and possible.
For throughout history, you can read the stories of women who - against all the odds - got being a woman right, but ended up being compromised, unhappy, hobbled or ruined, because all around them, soc...
For preference, I would like you to stand on a chair and shout I AM A FEMINIST!—but this is simply because I believe everything is more exciting if you stand on a chair to do
En nuestros días, el machismo es un poco como Meryl Streep en una nueva película: a veces no la reconoces enseguida. Puedes pasarte veinte minutos disfrutando de los dinosaurios, de las luchas espacia...
Buy flowers — or if you are poor, steal one from someone’s garden; the world owes you that much at least: a blossom — and put them at the end of the bed. When you wake, look at them, and tell yourself...
But the problem with battling yourself is that even if you win, you lose. At some point- scarred, and exhausted- you either accept that you must become a woman - that you are a woman - or you die.
Boobs exist only to jiggle up and down on the chests of women between the ages of 14 and 32, after which they get too droopy, and then presumably fall off the face of the earth, into space; maybe to e...
Az alsóneműk – elsősorban a bugyi és a melltartó, de az alsószoknya, a harisnyafélék és az „alakformáló ruhadarabok is – a női lét speciális darabjai. A tűzoltók overalljának és sisakjának női megfele...
At its best – and I love a nice frock – fashion is a game. But for women, it’s a compulsory game, like netball. And you can’t get out of it by faking a period. I know. I’ve tried.
At 14, I am an experiment. Inside, I am resurrected. I am in the middle of the kind of explosion of perspective that, in later years, I will pay a great deal of money to emulate in nightclubs, and at...
And that was the point I knew I just loved this filthy, ugly, loquacious man in a fur coat, who would spend the day roaming all over town, looking for bright lights, and laughter - and then at night c...
And of course, the deepest irony about the young being cynical is that they are the ones that need to move, and dance, and trust the most.
And every book, you find, has its own social group- friends of its own it wants to introduce you to, like a party in the library that need never, ever end.
And - just as with winning the lottery, or becoming famous - there is no manual for becoming a woman, even though the stakes are so high. God knows, when I was 13, I tried to find one. You can read ab...
Amnesty International Survey found that 25 percent of people believe a woman is to blame for being raped if she dresses provocatively.
