In any just world, I should have been able to kick the front room door open, like Lord Flashheart in Blackadder, and shout OH YEAH. THAT HYMEN’S GONE. DON’T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT, and then run round th...
In 2010, Iceland – with a lesbian prime minister, and a parliament which is 50 per cent female – became the first country in the world to outlaw strip clubs for feminist, rather than religious, reason...
I will work out exactly how - with my no money, no money at all, until I actually receive my first, dawdling pay-cheque - I will get to Birmingham later. Perhaps Birmingham will, in the next week, mov...
I want to tell Caz – also a redhead – that I have finally found her another role model, aside from Woody Woodpecker, and Annie in Annie.
I think if you thought about it a little while longer, you'd realize that you'd far better be a Ghostbuster: a nerd in New York with an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on your back, and a one-in-four c...
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 do understand why women started to reject the word feminism. It ended up being invoked in so many bafflingly inappropriate contexts that—if you weren’t actually aware of the core aims of feminism an...
I am thrilled by the idea of killing myself. It seems like such a gratifyingly noble thing to do. A monster has come to town—me—and there is only one hero who can kill it: me.
Ha egyszerűen őszintén vállaljuk azt, hogy kik vagyunk, a csatát félig megnyertük. Ha szarul érzed magad mindattól, amit a magazinokban és a lapokban olvasol – ne vedd meg őket! Ha felháborít, hogy a...
Evenings never end - they just, without you noticing, turn into tomorrow.
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...
Diana, Princess of Wales is feminine. Kylie Minogue is feminine. I am . . . femi-none.
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 19, I read a sentence that re-terraformed my head: The level of matter in the universe has been constant since the Big Bang.In all the aeons we have lost nothing, we have gained nothing - not a spe...
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...
Apesar de todas as pessoas que tentaram abusar e destratar do feminismo, essa continua sendo a palavra de que precisamos. Nenhuma outra serve.
And there’s your pecking order of unhappiness, right there in a nutshell. Of all the overwhelming compulsions you can be ruined by, all of them have some potential for some perverted, self-destructive...
And having a cleaner is nothing to do with feminism. If a middle-class woman is engaging in anti-feminist activity by hiring a woman to do the cleaning, then surely a middle-class man is engaging in c...
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...
